Copper-Iron Stoichiometry Lab Report 10/3/12 Abstract: The lab performed required the use of quantitative and analytical analysis along with limiting reagent analysis. The reaction of Copper (II) Sulfate‚ CuSO4‚ mass of 7.0015g with 2.0095g Fe or iron powder produced a solid precipitate of copper while the solution remained the blue color. Through this the appropriate reaction had to be determined out of the two possibilities. Through the use of a vacuum filtration system the mass of Cu was

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

Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Purpose: To verify the formula for copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate by measuring the amount of water decomposed from the hydrated species. MSDS: Copper sulfate pentahydrate- Harmful if swallowed. Causes skin irritation‚ causes serious eye irritation. Very toxic to aquatic life with long effects. If copper sulfate stays in the stomach‚ the victim becomes unconscious. The symptoms of poisoning include diarrhea‚ headache and injury to vital organs. Background: 1

Experiment 3 A Cycle of Copper Reactions Chemistry Department UCC 1st Year Practicals Introduction n n n n n Copper is one of the most important metals. 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

Chemical Reactions Lab Report Introduction: Chemical reactions is a process that involves rearrangement of the molecular or ionic structure of a substance. There are different types of reaction such synthesis‚ decomposition‚ single replacement‚ double replacement‚ and combustion. Synthesis is where two or more reactants combine to create a product. For Decomposition‚ it is the opposite where a product breaks down into reactants. In Single Replacement‚ reactants switches an element with another element

In Reaction 1‚ the mass of the pre-cut copper wire was measured with watch glass on the analytical balance‚ the mass was recorded using as many significant figures as possible on Table 2. The copper wire was bended into a circle and laid flat on the bottom of the 250 mL beaker. Inside the fume hood‚ 4mL 16M of HNO3 was added into the 250mL beaker that contained the copper wire. The copper wire was completely dissolved by swirling the beaker. The observation was recorded in Table 3. For Reaction 2

mass of copper wire was 1.250g but the recovered copper was only 0.120 subtracting the mass of the recovered copper with beaker from the tare beaker mass. So the percentage yield resulted only to 9.6% it is very little‚ and it may be due to many possible sources from doing the steps. Adding too much or too little of a compound to the copper solution‚or the loss of copper during transport or by being left on the stirring rod. Another situation which was a source of error is when the copper solution

In order to find the formula of the copper chloride hydrate‚ we had to separate the compound to find the mass of water and copper. To begin this process‚ we evaporated the water and created an anhydrous compound‚ meaning we were left with only CuxCly. By calculating the weight of both the anhydrous and the hydrated compounds‚ we could conclude that the difference in the weights was the weight of the H2O. From this we were able to calculate the percent composition of CuxCly and H2O (see Calculations:
