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

To determine the percent of copper and the formula weight of a copper compound. 2. Introduction a. Magnesium is a very active metal which can reduce copper (II) ions in a weight sample of a compound to metallic copper. The reduction of copper ions in a compound to a copper metal

sulphides in contact with air and water produces sulphuric acid which reduces the pH of water. The result of these reactions is increase in the solubility of heavy metals and consequently pollution of water resources. The Sarcheshmeh copper mine is one of the largest porphyry copper mines in the world which is located in south-eastern Iran. Chemical analysis of over than 600 water samples taken from streams and springs in the mining region and surrounding area of pit showed extensive changes in water quality

Undoped and Ce doped ZnO thin films were prepared by the sol-gel process. Zinc acetate dehydrate was dissolved in a mixture of absolute ethanol and monoethanolamine (MEA) yielding to a precursor concentration of 0.4 M .The MEA to zinc acetate molar ratio was set to 1. For doped films‚ cerium nitrate was added to the mixture with an atomic percentage fixed at 0.1‚ 0.3‚ 0.5‚ 0.7‚ and 0.9 at.% Ce‚ respectively. The resulting sols were magnetically stirred at 60°C for 1 hour and then aged at room temperature

: The copper cycle IN TRODUCTION The purpose of the experiment is to recognize that change of state‚ change in colour‚ formation of a precipitate‚ or the evolution of heat are associated with a chemical change; to study reactions of copper. Copper is an element that can be found in nature in a variety of different compounds. The most common natural ore is the sulphide‚ known as chalcocite‚ Cu2S. This mineral is an important source of copper metal because it is about 80% copper by weight

Experiment 1: Synthesis of Copper Compounds Introduction This experiment involves the synthesis of compounds originating from pure solid copper. By applying solubility rules and the reactive properties of substances‚ many compounds which would otherwise be costly to extract from nature are able to be synthesized in the laboratory. Laboratory synthesized may sometimes be more economical than natural extraction‚ however it poses its own problems with the amount of substance that is actually yielded

Copper is reddish with a bright metallic lustre It is malleable‚ ductile‚ and a good conductor of heat and electricity (second only to silver in electrical conductivity) Its alloys‚ brass and bronze‚ are very important Has various oxidation states: 0 in elemental copper‚ +1‚ and +2 which is observable in corroded

experiment‚ we were trying to see whether copper‚ after a chain of chemical reactions‚ will revert back to its elemental form. Procedure: First‚ I added nitric acid with copper in a beaker‚ which turned into a copper nitrate‚ a blue-green solution. Afterwards‚ I added sodium hydroxide‚ and my solution colored to a dark blue solution called copper hydroxide. I heated the solution to evaporate the water and I got a brownish-blackish solid called copper oxide. Once the solid appeared‚ I poured
