    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

    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

    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

    the cycle of copper through many chemical reactions. What we are going to do is take a piece of copper metal put it through a series of reactions that change it¡¦s state of matter and chemical formula‚ but in the end‚ we will return it to it¡¦s normal solid state. Determine the percentage yield (quantitative). Define what happen at level of electron for oxidation/reduction‚ double replacement‚ neutralization and decomposition. There are five reactions that the copper will go through. 1.     Cu(s)

    Percent Composition of a Penny Background Information: Post-1983 pennies have a copper jacket and a zinc core. We hope to determine the percent composition of these two metals. This will be done by reacting the zinc with hydrochloric acid to form zinc ions in a single replacement reaction. The acid reacts with the zinc but not copper. The reaction of zinc metal with the hydrochloric acid (HCl) produces zinc chloride and hydrogen gas. Safety: Wear your safety goggles and apron If you spill Hydrochloric
