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. The techniques used in this lab which is cleaning glassware‚ disposing of chemicals ‚ measuring mass ‚ centrifugation ‚ venting gases‚ and test tube over a “cool” flame. Introduction: Copper is an amazing metal that exists

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

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-Iron Stoichiometry Lab Report 10/3/12 Abstract: The lab performed required the use of quantitative and analytical analysis along with limiting reagent analysis. The reaction of Copper (II) Sulfate‚ CuSO4‚ mass of 7.0015g with 2.0095g Fe or iron powder produced a solid precipitate of copper while the solution remained the blue color. Through this the appropriate reaction had to be determined out of the two possibilities. Through the use of a vacuum filtration system the mass of Cu was

Percentage of Copper in a Brass Alloy Assignment: G620 Sample Assignment C Date Set: Due Date: Assessment Objective(s): AO3 Vocational Brief: Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. This alloy has many uses ranging from coinage to non-ferrous fittings on ships. Many domestic taps use brass where contact with water occurs. You are provided with a sample of brass which is about 150 years old and you are asked to quantitatively analyse it‚ using colorimetry‚ to find the percentage of copper present

3.4 Part F – The Reaction of Iron Nails with a Copper Solution Introduction: The experiment in this activity involves the reaction between a copper (II) chloride solution with iron nails and the mole ratios involved in the reaction. Measurements are taken to determine the moles of each reactant involved in the reaction and thus the number of atoms or molecules involved. Apparatus and Materials: Refer to the reaction of iron nails with a copper solution assignment in Module 3‚ Section assignment

Copper to Silver to Gold—A Comparison of Physical and Chemical Changes (Adapted from Abra-Ka-Dabra by C. M. Bires.) Introduction Hundreds of years ago‚ noblemen and women would pay large sums of money to alchemists. These early chemists were similar to modern-day illusionists in that they used a little science‚ a few tricks‚ and some acting to convince their clients that they had the ability to transform base metals into pure gold. Although these alchemists were eventually revealed as charlatans

Reactions of Copper Data: Part I: Preparing a solution of copper (II) nitrate Initial mass of copper wire: .520g Mass of copper wire after vigorously scouring: .518g Observations of Copper (II) ribbon mixed with HNO3: Solution turned green. Thick brown gas formed. Copper (II) bubbled vigorously. Cu (II) dissolved‚ solution appeared green/blue. After the addition of H2O a blue crusty precipitate formed. Part II: Synthesis of solid copper (II) hydroxide Observations of Copper (II) nitrate

claims made by the US government‚ regarding the spectrophotometric analysis of a copper penny hold true. Before 1982‚ the Lincoln cent contained 95% copper and 5% various mixtures of zinc and tin. As the cost of copper increased‚ the cost to produce the penny was more than the actual face value of the penny. This caused the US government to change the composition of the penny. The pennies we know today consist of a copper coating‚ which contains mostly zinc metal‚ and has a 2.5% mass. The contents

Introduction: Copper has played a vital role in past civilizations and continues to do so today due to its many properties as a metal. Although advantageous in today’s economy and also in human bodies‚ high concentrations of copper can prove toxic to our health and even pollutant to the environment. By altering the element through a number of chemical reactions including redox‚ metathesis‚ decomposition‚ and single replacement reactions‚ the cycle will be complete once solid copper is recovered.
