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

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

Affecting the Copper Mining Industry As is demonstrated by the chart below‚ the demand for copper has exceeded the supply brought to market since 2009. In 2011‚ 16.5 million tonnes of copper were produced worldwide and this amount is expected to grow by approximately 3% annually. Data from the International Copper Study Group (ICSG) for 2012 suggests that international demand for refined copper is expected to exceed production by about 240‚000 metric tons. The slow growth forecasted in copper supply is

In order to find the formula of the copper chloride hydrate‚ we had to separate the compound to find the mass of water and copper. To begin this process‚ we evaporated the water and created an anhydrous compound‚ meaning we were left with only CuxCly. By calculating the weight of both the anhydrous and the hydrated compounds‚ we could conclude that the difference in the weights was the weight of the H2O. From this we were able to calculate the percent composition of CuxCly and H2O (see Calculations:

Copper vs. fiber Everyone building a network must face this question at some point: fiber or copper wiring? For a usual home network or even a big office either one will suffice but what is the best option for you or your company. You have to take cost‚ distance of cabling‚ and bandwidth and speed into consideration when making this choice. Copper: a traditional copper wiring for a network certainly seems much cheaper on the surface. Copper wiring itself is dirt cheap at least comparatively
