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

Thermochemistry: An Ice Calorimeter Determination of Reaction Enthalpy Curtis M. Franklin Thursday‚ February 14‚ 2013 ABSTRACT An ice calorimetric measurement was used to determine that a reaction involving solid magnesium metal and 1.00M sulfuric acid produces an experimental a value of ∆H = -226 ± 28 kJ/mol at 0°C. This is about 48.4% lower than the expected value reported at 25°C. Introduction Many chemical reactions exhibit themselves by exchanging heat energy‚ either be absorbing

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 temperature the faster the reaction will occur) has been proven correct and it proves the theory right. From the results‚ we can see this‚ as the iced water (10 degrees) had the slowest rate of reaction at 1.10 minutes. Then the room temperature water (19 degrees) was tested and had a slightly better rate of reaction at 1.09 minutes. Then last of all‚ we tested the boiling water (63 degrees) which had a large improvement from the last two with a rate of reaction of 43.5 seconds. This showing development

Computerized Data Acquisition of a Second Order Reaction Abstract Introduction The rates at which reactions occur depend on the composition and the temperature of the reaction mixture. Usually the rate of reaction is found to be proportional to the concentrations of the reactants raised to a power.1 There are many reactions that have a rate law in the form of: (1) v = k[A]a[B]b According to reference1 the power to which the concentration of a species (product or reactant) is raised

Determination of the activation energy of an enzyme catalysed reaction Introduction In this practical the aim for this experiment was to find out the catalytic power of alkaline phosphate‚ as well as the rate of reaction and the activation energy of p-nitrophenol phosphate. Enzymes are biological molecules that catalyse a chemical reaction. ‘Enzymes work by lowering the activation energy of a chemical reaction making it easier to proceed’ [1]. This allows molecules to have more energy therefore

current between the metals Zinc and Copper. We aim two study the voltaic cells and the transfer of electrons from the metal to the ion. The tendency for the electrons to flow from one chemical to another‚ such as from the zinc metal to the copper ion as shown here‚ is something that can be channeled and controlled. Channeling the flow of electrons is what we will take up in this experiment. Research question How would changing the shape of zinc and copper affect the voltage of the battery considering

conductivity and resistance to combustion. Silver is not only a good conductor of heat and an essential catalyst for many industries‚ it also is commonly used as jewelry. The lack of durability in pure silver forces a mixture to be made with 5-20% copper to form an alloy known as sterling silver. The uses of Silver have dramatically changed as more inventions and ideas have come along. Silver’s small availability and high price due to high numbers of coins‚ brought the U.S to pass the Johnson Silver

Essay On Metals Iraj Malik 12/10/2012 MYP-5 The International School A metal is defined as a chemical element that is malleable and ductile‚ usually solid‚ has a characteristic luster‚ and is a good conductor of heat and electricity‚ e.g. copper or iron. Metals form oxides that are basic‚ they are good reducing agents and metals have lower electro negatives.There are many properties of metals. The chemical properties are that they can combine together with other metals to form am alloy.
