above‚ the mass of penny‚ copper‚ and zinc was needed in order to determine the percent composition of copper and zinc. The mass of penny was taken on the scale in the beginning of the procedure before anything was done to the penny‚ and it was 2.51 grams. After the reaction with the hydrochloric acid and drying the copper‚ the mass is 0.35 grams. To get the mass of zinc‚ the mass of the penny was subtracted by the mass of copper. The mass of zinc is 2.16 grams. The penny is 14% copper and 86% zinc by

DETERMINATION OF % COMPOSITION OF PENNIES USING REDOX AND DOUBLE DISPLACEMENT (PRECIPITATION) REACTIONS Pre- Lab 8 Objective: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the percent composition of pennies using oxidation-reduction and double displacement reactions as well as titration techniques. We will take a post 1982 penny and place in a strong acid dissolving the zinc core and leaving behind the copper coating. We will figure out the percent composition from the mass of copper and zinc using titration

OLD COINS TURN TO GOLD DESIGN: Problem or Research Question: How does zinc effects the color change in a copper penny? 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.

Materials: A large potato Two pennies Two zinc-plated nails or screws Three pieces of copper wire A very small light bulb or LED light 1) Get a potato and cut it in half. 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

Experiment 8 Determination of Percent Composition of Pennies Using Redox and Double Displacement (Precipitation) Reactions Objectives: The lab experiment will consist of oxidation-reduction and double displacement reactions as well as titration techniques. All these components will be used in order to determine the percent composition of pennies. In conducting redox and double displacement we are able to analyze a penny and figure out the chemical composition of the product. The experiment

Tiffany Yuen Investigation 21: How Much Copper Is in the Coin? RC Bauer‚ JP Birk‚ DJ Sawyer We calibrated three different molarities of copper (II) nitrate. We tested for the %Transmittance of 1M‚ 0.1M‚ and 0.01M and plotted the data collected on a calibration curve based on concentration and absorbance. We used nitric acid to dissolve a penny to produce another copper (II) nitrate to test its %Transmittance and plot that on the graph to discover the concentration of that substance which came

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Main Problem: How can the ionization chamber detect if the environment is surrounded or has Radon? Sub- Problems: What are the primary sources of radon gas? What elements are found when radon decays? How can this gas cause different kinds of diseases? OBJECTIVE: Build a simple ionization chamber that is capable of detecting fairly low levels of radiation BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Radon is a cancer-causing gas. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil
