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

Percent Copper and Zinc in Pennies From Density Purpose: Practicing determine the density of the solution. Developing the method for determine the percent of density for the solution. Examining the linear relationship by learning to use the best-fit straight line. Using the linear relationship to determine the percent of density by the solution. Be familiar with recording data and observations. Methods & Material: Methods: Weight the mass for the different percent of zinc and copper mixtures

Make a Battery from Potato Introduction: Batteries generate electricity through a chemical reaction between two different electrodes and one electrolyte. Use of Copper and Zinc electrodes and Sulfuric acid as electrolyte is a proven method for this process. We are wondering if we can use any other liquid as electrolyte? This gave us the idea of using a potato as electrolyte. After all a fresh potato has a lot of juice that may serve our purpose as electrolyte. Problem: Can Potato be used

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

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

A battery‚ which is actually an electric cell‚ is a device that produces electricity from a chemical reaction. In a one cell battery‚ you would find a negative electrode; an electrolyte‚ which conducts ions; a separator‚ also an ion conductor; and a positive electrode. Batteries are made of magnesium dioxide‚ graphite‚ electrolytes‚ zinc oxide and a paper soaked in an electrolyte solution. All of this is sealed in a insulated tube for safety. http://answers.ask.com/consumer_electronics/other/what_are_batteries_made_of

Environmental Impacts of the Battery The creation of the battery was invented in 1859 by a man named Gaston Plante. Over the years as technology advances so do they batteries adding different materials like nickel‚ zinc‚ lead‚ graphite‚ carbon and toxic acids such as acid‚ magnesium dioxide‚ and hydrochloric acid making it one of the most helpful inventions known to mankind. Throughout our everyday lives a lot of things we use require a battery. The disposable battery converts chemical energy into
