chemical element copper‚ with Atomic Number 29‚ has been extensively used for thousands of years because of several primary properties that have dictated its use throughout history. Among them we can count durability‚ strength and‚ as a semi-noble metal‚ good resistance to corrosion. With a hardness of 3 on the Mohs scale‚ pure copper is relatively soft and malleable‚ which makes it an easy metal to work with. Analyses of artefacts from lithic civilizations have shown that native copper had not only

EXTRACTION OF COPPER FROM OXIDISED COPPER ORE Aim: To analyse how copper is obtained from oxidised copper ore using the processes of leaching‚ solid-liquid separation‚ displacing and electrowinning. Method: Refer to ‘Extraction of Copper from oxidised Copper Ore’ document pages 1-2 Results: Leaching: The blue particles in the copper ore which is copper was dissolved in the sulphuric acid and the solution turned into a blue colour. There was also sediment that was floating around

EXPERIMENT 1: Aim: To range the metals copper‚ lead‚ silver and zinc together with hydrogen. Start with the strongest reducing agent. Hypothesis: The nobler a metal is‚ the worse reducing agent. Apparatus/requirements: Sandpaper‚ strips of; zinc‚ lead‚ silver and copper‚ solutions containing aqueous; Zn2+‚ Pb2+‚ Cu2+ and Ag+ ions (0.2 M)‚ hydrochloric acid (5.0 M)‚ emery paper‚ test-tubes. Method: Burnish the three metal strips to get a shiny surface‚ after drop a drop of each of the metal

Divya Nagendran Professor Patrick Crawford CHEM 122-04 27 January The Role of Zinc in My Life Chemistry plays a vital role in our daily life. We find chemistry in every object we see or touch. We could find chemistry in the food we eat‚ the air we breathe‚ our acne treatment cream and the list goes on. There is one chemistry element that is important in my daily life and its Zinc or Zn 2+. During my high school year‚ I’ve had problems with hair loss. Each day I would lose 100 to 125 strands

Copper Sun By: Sharon Draper The novel Copper Sun is a searing work of historical fiction and is action-packed‚ multifaceted‚ and character-rich. It describes a young girl’s life that was stolen from her village‚ sold to the highest bidder‚ enslaved‚ beaten‚ and mistreated. It expresses the different emotions that were felt as the girl went through her long and tiresome journey. Throughout‚ the young girl named Amaris journey‚ she encountered several different characters with similar but different

LET’S START WITH COPPER CHEMISTRY REPORT 2012 INTRODUCTION: The law of conservation of mass means that the atoms of an object cannot be created or destroyed‚ but can be moved around and be changed into different particles. This law says that when a chemical reaction makes two different atoms into a new product‚ the mass will be the same. Knowing this the mass of the copper should be the same at the beginning and at the end of the experiment. In this investigation we will see

Copper and Molybdenum Deposits in the United States Copper and molybdenum resources were not recognized as valuable commodities until economic needs demanded the collection and processing of these minerals in large amounts. The most expansive deposits of copper and molybdenum occur in massive low grade ores and are found in intrusive porphyry formations‚ although many smaller sized but higher grade ores are located in non-porphyry areas. The nation has abundant domestic copper ore reserves but

CH 130 B: General Chemistry I The Lab Report As a scientist you are responsible for conveying the results of an experiment to a supervisor‚ a colleague‚ or the public. Often‚ you will convey this information in the form of a scientific paper describing your work. This paper needs to clearly describe why and how an experiment was done‚ and it must include an interpretation of results‚ including a discussion of their importance and any significant sources of error. You lab report will

Zinc is one of the longest-studied nutrients that correlates with statistically significantly less acne. Some months ago‚ I discovered that around 200mg/day of zinc picolinate could‚ under some circumstances‚ make me dramatically acne-free for the first time ever. That led to a very long course of study‚ research and experiments. For a megadose of zinc to affect acne dramatically‚ a good bet was that zinc is a cofactor in a reaction that affects acne. If you have a chemical reaction in the body
