Determination of Trace Amount of Copper and Zinc in an Aqueous Solution by Atomic Absorbance Spectroscopy Abstract: The purpose of this experiment is to analyze a sample containing copper and zinc in trace amounts‚ where standard addition method was used and the instrument used is the atomic absorbance spectroscopy. The amount of copper obtained was 0.569 ppm ± 0.015 and for zinc we obtained 0.42 ppm ± 0.0027. Introduction: This method implies the excitation of particles in the solution sample

Otzi the Iceman Otzi the Iceman is a nickname given to a very well preserved natural mummy of a man from Europe during the European Copper Age. He is the oldest natural human mummy preserved by freezing and he gives an extraordinary view of the European Copper Age. Otzi the Iceman aided us with an exceptional understanding of the European Copper Age from the equipment he was carrying‚ the cloth he was wearing‚ and the physical remains of his body. A set of well preserved equipments were discovered

a thing is made or composed; component or constituent matter. [1] Materials commonly used in today’s industry or in society are commonly encountered materials‚ for example‚ wood (timber)‚ concrete‚ brick‚ steel‚ plastic‚ glass‚ rubber‚ aluminums‚ copper‚ paper and ceramics. Generally‚ materials are classified into three types of groups; mainly metals‚ polymers and last but not least ceramics. Each and every type of the aforementioned group has their very own specialties‚ properties‚ structures

Copper is a transitional metal with an atomic number of 29. Its atomic mass is 63.546. A pure metal found in nature‚ its compounds are usually found as copper(II) salts. Copper is typically a reddish-brown with a shine or glow to it. When it is exposed to air it darkens to a brown color. If exposed to air and water‚ it becomes a blue-green. Its phase of matter is solid‚ with a melting and boiling point of 1084.62 °C and 2562 °C respectively. Copper is soft and malleable‚ meaning that it is capable

Introduction The resistance of a wire depends on certain factors. Some of these variables are listed below: Length of wire Diameter or thickness of wire Temperature at which wire is kept The material of which wire is made out of. The potential difference or voltage. Humidity Cross sectional area. Voltage across circuit All these factors will have to be kept constant except the diameter of the wire whilst doing the experiment to ensure that the investigation is

the most amount of copper after it is subjected to a sequence of reactions. The copper is originally in solid form‚ but the reactions will turn it into free Cu+2 ions floating in solution. The ions will then be regrouped to form solid copper once again. During this process‚ however‚ some of the Cu+2 ions may be lost. The copper will subjected to changes in pH and heat. These steps were responsible for the breakdown and reconstruction of the copper. The percent of copper retrieved will reflect
