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

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

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

Determination of Iron by Reaction with Permanganate-A Redox Titration Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to find the percentage of iron in an unknown iron oxide sample which could be determined through titration with a standard solution of potassium permanganate. Success in this analysis requires careful preparation and attention to detail. Performing this experiment also provides practice at titrations. The overall reaction is: 8H+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 5e- Mn2+(aq) + 4H2O Theory:

Vitamin C Introduction: The lab consists in determining the vitamin C concentration in a solution by a redox titration using iodine. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble‚ essential oxidant that plays a vital role in the protection of the body from infections and disease it is acquired from primary fruits and vegetables. With the use of different materials as natural orange juice‚ Tampico (chemical orange juice) and other solutions that contain vitamin C we will find the amount of vitamin

and different techniques are created. In chemical analysis‚ the amount of an object is determined using a process called titration. According to Petrucci et al.‚ titration is a reaction carried out by the carefully controlled addition of one solution to another. It has several types like acid-base titrations and redox titrations. This experiment focuses on the latter type‚ the redox titration. A redox titration is based on an oxidation-reduction reaction between analyte and titrant (Harris‚2009)
