Synthesis And Analysis Of Copper Lab Report
Objective: The objective of this lab is to determine and analyze the many chemical qualities of copper , by using many solutions that enable copper to undergo chemical changes that will take copper from a metal back to its original state. This is done using cooper, Concentrated HNO3, 6 M NaOH , Bunsen burner, 6 M H2SO4, Mg ribbon, and two test tubes. The techniques used in this lab which is cleaning glassware, disposing of chemicals , measuring mass , centrifugation , venting gases, and test tube over a “cool” flame. Introduction: Copper is an amazing metal that exists in almost everything that uses electricity as a power source or as a mean of charging batteries , this is because copper is a very good conductor of electricity. Copper is known as an

Oxidization of the surface of copper that produces a blue-green layer is called patina. The cleaning of glassware was done in the end of the experiment to avoid cross contamination . The disposing of chemicals was done throughout most of experiment with inputing concentrated HNO3, 6 M NaOH , and 6 M H2SO4 ; extreme caution was used during the insertion of chemicals into the solution , since these chemicals are extremely corrosive and can evaporate skin ; the disposing of chemicals were also done at the end of the experiment into the waste container to avoid harsh chemicals into the water supply and plumbing. In addition, to using safety when pouring chemicals , safety was also used when gases were being vented in the fume hood. In part a , NHO3 is very toxic to inhale so the use of the fume hood is needed. In part e,
