Determination of % Composition of Pennies Using Redox and Double Displacement (Precipitation) Reactions Introduction: Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield. Purpose: In this lab‚ we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc

Determining the composition of pennies with redox reactions Introduction: The understanding of oxidation and reduction must be clear to carry out this lab. With the understanding of these concepts we can calculate or hypothesize for the properties of each element or compound. Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield

determine the density and composition of a penny it must be first weighed on a scale. Find the average mass of multiple pennies from the same year. After weighing it find the volume by placing the pennies into a 50 ml beaker with 15 ml of water. Note the change in volume to obtain the volume of the pennies‚ obtain the average volume‚ and then calculate the density by dividing the mass of the penny by the volume. 2.) To keep measurements accurate and precise test multiple pennies from the same year and

Determining the Percent Copper and Zinc in Pennies from Density Lab Report Procedure: For pre-1982 pennies- Mass 10 pennies‚ record data. Fill a 100mL graduated cylinder to 40mL or enough to fully submerge the pennies with water‚ record the volume in data table. Carefully place the pennies into the graduated cylinder‚ record the final volume of the water in data table. To find the volume of the pennies‚ subtract the final volume from the initial‚ record the data. Repeat this procedure twice more

this experiment was to determine the percentage purity of the iron(II) salt in an unknown sample. We performed titrations using Potassium permanganate which is a strong oxidizing agent‚ with unknown sample dissolved in deionized water. The result of the experiment was a 99.5% purity for the anhydrous iron (II) ammonium sulfate. Introduction: In this experiment‚ oxidation/reduction (or redox) will be used in the titration analysis of an iron compound. We will use potassium permanganate‚ KMnO4

Name: Date of experiment: 04/02/12 Date of report: 04/03/12 Title: Oxidation – Reduction Activity Series Purpose: To determine relative oxidizing and reducing strengths of a series of metals and ions. Oxidation and reduction reaction occur simultaneously side by side. A reduction reaction occurs only if an oxidation reaction occurs and vise-versa. Electrons are given in oxidation while in reduction electrons are gained. Oxidizing agent is a chemical substance which has a large tendency to
