vegetables) using two strips of metal. The most readily available combination is copper and zinc. The zinc piece can be taken from the casing of an old carbon "D" cell (battery); some zinc coated nails may work as well. The copper can be a coin containing a high amount of copper. (Note: some recent copper coins‚ including the newer U.S. pennies‚ contain low amounts of copper mixed with zinc. If in doubt‚ use a pure copper strip.) They are stuck into the lemon‚ and wires are attached to each one. The

decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield. Purpose: In this lab‚ we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc core‚ leaving only the copper coating. Once only copper remains‚ we will compare its mass to the entire mass of the penny to determine how much of a penny is copper and how much is zinc. Titration Experiment Day

Then make a small slit in each half just big enough to put a penny into. 2) Cut two pieces of copper wire and wrap one around one of the pennies a few times‚ and wrap the other one around the other penny a few times as well. 3) Take a third piece of copper wire‚ and wrap it around one of the zinc-plated nails or screws

electron current between the metals Zinc and Copper. We aim two study the voltaic cells and the transfer of electrons from the metal to the ion. The tendency for the electrons to flow from one chemical to another‚ such as from the zinc metal to the copper ion as shown here‚ is something that can be channeled and controlled. Channeling the flow of electrons is what we will take up in this experiment. Research question How would changing the shape of zinc and copper affect the voltage of the battery

Title: Zinc and Copper II Sulfate Lab Purpose: To determine which mole ratio of Zinc and Copper II Sulfate produces the greatest temperature change in degrees celsius. Background: This experiment will be looking for color change‚ temperature change‚ and precipitation change. Some background knowledge I know is how to balance equations. I also know side effect of a chemical change‚ in this experiment there was a color and temperature change. Other background knowledge is using and applying the

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

Density of Metals Problem: How does the mass and volume help determine the density of known metal samples? Hypothesis: When comparing the density of Zn(zinc) and Cu(copper)‚ you will find that Copper is more dense than Zinc. You can test this out by using the density formula D=m/v. Materials: * 2 metals (options: zn‚ al‚ or cu) * 3 samples of each metal (small‚ medium‚ and large) * Scale/Balance * Calculator * Water * Graduated Cylinder Safety: * Be prepared for your

Hypothesis: If copper and zinc comes together‚ then it will form brass‚ which gives gold color to copper penny. Variables: There were no variables at this experiment PROCEDURES: Materials: Zinc (SN) filling‚ 3M NaOH solution‚ Copper penny‚ tongs‚ Hot plate‚ 100 ml beaker‚ 250 ml beaker‚ Bunsen burner‚ Water‚ Spoon. Procedure: First‚ we turned on the hot plate.

Introduction Brasses are copper zinc alloys. It is a substitutional alloy. Brass has higher malleability than copper or zinc. In general‚ they have good strength and corrosion resistance‚ although their structure and properties are a function of zinc content. The relatively low melting point of brass (900 to 940°C‚ depending on composition) and its flow characteristics make it a relatively easy material to cast. By varying the proportions of copper and zinc‚ the properties of the brass can
