Determination of % Composition of Pennies Using Redox and Double Displacement (Precipitation) Reactions Introduction: Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield. Purpose: In this lab‚ we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc

Determining the composition of pennies with redox reactions Introduction: The understanding of oxidation and reduction must be clear to carry out this lab. With the understanding of these concepts we can calculate or hypothesize for the properties of each element or compound. Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield

1: 1.) To determine the density and composition of a penny it must be first weighed on a scale. Find the average mass of multiple pennies from the same year. After weighing it find the volume by placing the pennies into a 50 ml beaker with 15 ml of water. Note the change in volume to obtain the volume of the pennies‚ obtain the average volume‚ and then calculate the density by dividing the mass of the penny by the volume. 2.) To keep measurements accurate and precise test multiple pennies from the

Percent Composition Report Hypothesis : By using seperation techniques properly‚ the 3 substance such as; water‚ sand‚ and salt can be seperated and the percent composition of each substance. Which will then be calculated theoritically and after comparison with the actual result‚ the accuracy of the 2 result can be found. Aim : The aim of this experiment is to compare the gravimetric result of the original mixture and the separated substance. The other objective is to calculate each percent

table 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%

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

Experiment 7: Percentage Composition of Kclo3- A Gas law Experiment Anna CunananProfessor Stewart Chemistry 400 T/TH 1:30 PM 18 March‚ 2014 Objectives: In this Experiment‚ we will be decomposing KClO3 into two different compounds‚ KCl and O2. We are given a known mixture that has MnO2 in it to act as a catalyst. When decomposing KClO3 it releases O2 gas‚ which we then collect into the Erlenmeyer flask. The gas then displaces the water into the beaker‚ which we can then calculate the water evolved
