IB Chemistry Experiment 4 Composition of a Post-1983 Penny Lab Report Background: Through the use of percent composition one can easily find out how much of a certain element is in a compound or an item such as a post-1983 penny. The experiment will be using HCl a strong acid to dissolve all the zinc inside the outer copper shell. The reaction follows as such; Zn+2HCLZnCl2+H2‚ but there will be no reaction with copper. The portion that will be measured is the mass of copper left after all of

Dylan McFarland 9/15/14 Honors Chemistry Richardson Lab: Measuring the Density of Pennies Pre-Lab Questions: 1. The equation that relates density‚ mass‚ and volume is: density = mass / volume. 2. All substances have unique densities‚ so if you are able to find the density of a substance‚ you can properly identify it. 3. We measure irregular-shaped objects with the use of water displacement because it would be nearly impossible to get the exact measurements

walked past a penny on the ground or carelessly dropped it on the floor and not picked it up‚ thinking that a penny is not worth your time. The Canadian mint produces nearly one billion pennies a year and sets them off for circulation where most of them will spend their time on the streets or collected in jars. The Royal Canadian Mint says it costs only 0.7 cents to make a penny but if you factor in other costs such as shipping the pennies to banks then it could add up to 4 cents per penny. Surely we

Abolish the Penny Between 2001 and 2006‚ there has been an increase of .6 cents for the reproduction of the penny. This increase displays economic problems that may lead to fatal ones. The penny is composed of 2% copper and 98% zinc. These elements are exponentially in demand causing the price of these materials to skyrocket. Many Americans think the penny is putting our country in jeopardy with financial losses. This meaningless coin is losing money for the mint‚ and should be abolished.
