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

Percent Copper in Brass Background The scientific concepts involved in this lab include Spectroscopy‚ Beer’s law‚ Calibration curve‚ concentration‚ and electronic transitions. The main objective of this experiment is to see how the percent composition of brass can be determined to verify the properties influenced by copper and zinc. Brass is a generic term for alloys of copper and zinc. The main technique used in this experiment is Spectroscopy. The three equations used in this lab are: Y = mx

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

Determining the Concentration of a solution: Beer’s Law Objective In this lab of Determining the concentration of a unknown solution: Beers Law. We determined the concentration of a unknown CuSO4 solution by measuring its absorbance with the colorimeter. With all the calculations we were able to solve the linear regression Equation of absorbance vs. concentration and the alternate method. Materials Vernier LabPro or CBL 2 interface .40 M CuSO4 solution Computer or handheld

experiment is to apply Beer’s Law by analyzing samples provided by Q laboratory to determine their absorbance and prepare a Beer’s law plot. Molarity of these samples was also calculated to determine concentration and percent error rate. Students also analyzed the concentration of blue dye #1 to determine the concentration of blue dye #1 in a commercial blue dye drink. Procedure Exercise #1 Step #1: Convert %T (Table 1) to absorbance and prepare a Beer’s law plot using the data. Step #2:

Beer-Lambert Law Relationship Between Molar Concentration and Absorbance Solution colour results from the absorbance of some light wavelengths by solutes dissolved in solution‚ while allowing other wavelengths to pass through (transmittance). The combination of the remaining wavelengths that pass through results in the colour of the solution. A colorimeter can be used to determine the amount of light at a particular wavelength that is absorbed/transmitted by a solution. Depending on the concentration

Absorption Spectra and the Beer-Lambert Law. ɛ Purpose : Understanding of Beer –Lambert Law Introduction : When light passes through the colour solution ‚ the molecules of the solution absorb the quantity of light at a particular wavelength . The amount of light which is absorbed by solution depend on two things. 1. The length of the pathway of light 2.Concentration of colour solution. These are all explained by the Beer-Lambert Law. Absorbance (A) = ɛcl

Copper and Zinc Composition Percentages in Pennies Introduction. The United States Mint sends copper and zinc to a fabricator‚ which creates coin-sized discs called planchets. The planchets undergo the coining press at the Mint where they are stamped as genuine United States legal tender coins. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the accuracy of the copper and zinc composition percentages in a random sampling of pennies. The penny was dissolved to make aqueous copper ions and four copper
