The primary objective in the lab is to determine the molecular formula of Copper Oxide through synthesis of copper oxide. In the first procedure‚ an empty crucible‚ Bunsen Burner‚ and electronic scale were placed onto the workbench. The electronic scale was zeroed before the crucible was placed on it. The total mass of the empty crucible was 88.000g. Afterwards‚ 10 grams of copper powder was placed into the crucible and weighed to be 98.000 g. The crucible with the copper was placed onto the Bunsen

experiment‚ synthesis of copper compounds‚ the purpose was to recover the original amount of copper after series of chemical reactions. Then returning the copper back to its original form. The copper wire originally weighted 1.0099 g‚ but after the copper was transformed into Cu(OH)2 to CuO to CuSO4 and finally into Cu‚ the mass of the recovered copper was 1.1023g; the percent yield was 109%. Since the percent yield is more than 100%‚ an error must have occurred somewhere in the lab. A possible error could

The Copper Cycle Alexes Montalvo Chem 1500-10 September 26‚ 2012 The Copper Cycle Introduction: The Copper Cycle is a popular experiment used to determine if an element‚ in this instance‚ copper‚ reverts to its elemental form after a chain of reactions. This experiment is very dangerous because of the reactions between the strong acids and bases. In this experiment I performed a series of reactions starting with

may affected the mass of the copper was recovered and also the percentage of yield. According to the law of conservation of matter‚ the mass of the copper will not change even though there are many chemical reactions happened which also mean that the mass of copper contained in solutions or precipitates remain the same as the copper in the beginning. And it is necessary to synthesize the various copper compounds in order to recover metal because the amount of copper might be left due to some errors

Get all the equipment’s ready and put them on a table. Take a pair of goggles and put them on and make sure hair is tied up‚ if long‚ using any sort of hair band. Take the 100ml glass beaker and place it under the water tap’s opening‚ the place where the water comes out from‚ then turn the tap on. Do not turn the tap off until the water inside the beaker reaches the 50ml mark‚ to ensure that there is only 50ml of water in the 100ml beaker. Then take the beaker and place it somewhere safe on the table

Lab: STOICHIOMETRY The reaction of Iron with Copper(II) Sulfate Purpose: In this experiment we will use stoichiometric principles to deduce the appropriate equation for the reaction between metallic iron and a solution of copper (II) sulfate. This reaction produces metallic copper‚ which is seen precipitating as a finely divided red power. Materials: Flask beaker Copper solution Balance Hot plate •150 ml beaker •1 gram of iron power

Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Purpose: To verify the formula for copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate by measuring the amount of water decomposed from the hydrated species. MSDS: Copper sulfate pentahydrate- Harmful if swallowed. Causes skin irritation‚ causes serious eye irritation. Very toxic to aquatic life with long effects. If copper sulfate stays in the stomach‚ the victim becomes unconscious. The symptoms of poisoning include diarrhea‚ headache and injury to vital organs. Background: 1

In order to find the formula of the copper chloride hydrate‚ we had to separate the compound to find the mass of water and copper. To begin this process‚ we evaporated the water and created an anhydrous compound‚ meaning we were left with only CuxCly. By calculating the weight of both the anhydrous and the hydrated compounds‚ we could conclude that the difference in the weights was the weight of the H2O. From this we were able to calculate the percent composition of CuxCly and H2O (see Calculations:

In the Stoichiometry Challenge Lab we compared the theoretical results of the reaction between sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4) with the actual data we found. I hypothesised that If the mole ratio between Na2SO4 and H2SO4 is 1:1 then when I react 0.5 grams of Na2SO4 (reactant with H2SO4) I should get 0.669 grams of Na2SO4. The actual reaction between .05 grams of Na2CO3 and 5 mL of of H2SO4 produced 0.79g of Na2SO4. When I were testing the reaction‚ I measured out the reactants

Objective: The objective of this lab is to determine and analyze the many chemical qualities of copper ‚ by using many solutions that enable copper to undergo chemical changes that will take copper from a metal back to its original state. This is done using cooper‚ Concentrated HNO3‚ 6 M NaOH ‚ Bunsen burner‚ 6 M H2SO4‚ Mg ribbon‚ and two test tubes.
