    Transforming Copper

    • 565 Words
    • 3 Pages

    A Sequence of Chemical Reactions: Transforming Copper Briefly describe. a) Why must you carry out the oxidation of Cu with HNO3 in a fume hood? Concentrated nitric acid is a toxic oxidant. Avoiding skin contact or inhalation is highly important. The reaction between Cu and HNO3 produces NO2‚ a toxic brown gas; therefore working under the fume is necessary in order to prevent inhaling the toxic gas. b) Why you should be particularly careful when you work with 3 M H2SO4 solution?

    Research question/Aim Extract copper from copper oxide by reduction using butane gas Hypothesis The butane gas will reduce the copper oxide and leave behind pure copper. This will allow us to find the empirical formula of the copper oxide as well as the masses of oxygen and copper Variables Dependant variable The dependant variable will be the reduction of the copper oxide which will be calculated at different temperatures. Independent variable The independent variable here

    factors affect the resistance of a conductor‚ and the mathematical relationship that exists between these variables. Hypothesis Copper wires would be a better conductor than nichrome wires because it would yield less resistance when they have same cross-sectional area‚ length and temperature. Resistance would be increased when length wires increased. Resistance would be increased when cross-sectional area of wires decreased. Resistivity of wires is a factor of affecting the resistance.

    6: The Copper Cycle CHEM 101 Lab-M/630 As an investigation of the copper cycle lab group 6 conducted an experiment on 6 October 2014 at Arizona State University laboratory that would demonstrate the cycle of reactions that copper (Cu) can produce when introduced to with other substances/reactant. The purpose of the investigation was to notice the transformation of a specific quantity of copper wire (g) as it undergoes its coordination reactions until a reduction method would yield copper (Cu) again
