Determining the Percentage of Copper in a Copper Ore Aim: To determine the percentage of copper present in malachite. Hypothesis: That the percentage of copper in the malachite will be four percent. Materials: 2 x 250mL beaker‚ pestle‚ malachite‚ sulfuric acid‚ water‚ 2 x filter paper‚ funnel‚ filter stand‚ Safety Precautions: Wear safety glasses at all times when dealing with chemicals and apron to avoid ruining clothes. Method: Record the mass of the malachite sample. Place the malachite

Copper was the first metal that is used by humans as weapons and tools. It is shinny and has a reddish brown color. It’s application toward humans has really changed the way we live. Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity‚ which is often used as electrical wires or cables in generators‚ motors and electric products. In addition‚ it is also an outstanding conductor of heat‚ which is used in radiators and heating systems. Since it does not react with water and corrode easily‚ it is widely

A COMPARISON OF ALUMINUM VS. COPPER AS USED IN ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT Larry Pryor‚ P.E. – Sr. Specification Engineer‚ GE Consumer & Industrial Rick Schlobohm‚ P.E. – Sr. Specification Engineer‚ GE Consumer & Industrial Bill Brownell‚ P.E – Specification Engineer‚ GE Consumer & Industrial ABSTRACT The debate over the pros and cons of aluminum vs. copper conductors has been discussed for many years. Many of the concerns are based on old information and also misinformation. These concerns center on the

Give a conclusion‚ which describes why the mass of copper carbonate may have changed during your experiment. When the copper carbonate is heated it decomposes forming copper oxide and carbon dioxide. The copper carbonate turns into a

Problem Does temperature affect the resistivity of different sized copper wires? Hypothesis I think that the resistivity will increase with higher temperatures because with higher temperature‚ resistivity is higher due to the fact the atomic lattice structure increases. Background Electrical resistivity is the measurement of how a material opposes the flow of an electrical current. On the other hand‚ electrical conductivity () is the inverse of resistivity. It is the measurement

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

Daniel Osherow ENGR 1301 5 December 2012 Copper Wire Sizes (EE) The diameter of a copper wire is measured by using a system called the American Wire Gauge also known as AWG. This system has predominantly been used in the United States and Canada since 1857. Using this measurement the cross-sectional area of a gauge is able to be found. We then use this area to determine the wires current carrying capacity. The gauge numbers for wire and diameter values work inversely‚ as when one increases the

Coursework 4 Copper Name of student: Alfiya Ospanova Tutorial group: G Copper is one of the earliest elements explored by humanity. Due to the special red shade it was easy to find in ancient times. The metal was named according to place where it was found‚ the Cyprus islands. Copper produced in massive stars and spread in the world as minerals like chalcocite and chalcopyrite (sulfide of copper)‚ azurite and malachite (carbonate of copper)‚ cuprite (oxide of copper). The atomic

6: The Copper Cycle CHEM 101 Lab-M/630 As an investigation of the copper cycle lab group 6 conducted an experiment on 6 October 2014 at Arizona State University laboratory that would demonstrate the cycle of reactions that copper (Cu) can produce when introduced to with other substances/reactant. The purpose of the investigation was to notice the transformation of a specific quantity of copper wire (g) as it undergoes its coordination reactions until a reduction method would yield copper (Cu) again
