A Sequence of Chemical Reactions: Transforming Copper Briefly describe. a) Why must you carry out the oxidation of Cu with HNO3 in a fume hood? Concentrated nitric acid is a toxic oxidant. Avoiding skin contact or inhalation is highly important. The reaction between Cu and HNO3 produces NO2‚ a toxic brown gas; therefore working under the fume is necessary in order to prevent inhaling the toxic gas. b) Why you should be particularly careful when you work with 3 M H2SO4 solution?

Copper Chloride Lab Report Procedure Part A: 1. Pick up the container of copper chloride dehydrate‚ and observe material. Describe crystals in detail‚ and write down all of the observations. Part B: 1. Take a 100 ml beaker and fill ¼ of it with water. Use a spatula to add some copper chloride dehydrate to the beaker filled with water. Record the observations. Be sure to observe the water and the copper chloride dehydrate. 2. Stir the contents in the beaker with

Copper Cycle Summary During the copper cycle lab‚ my partners and I performed a series of reactions on copper powder and observed the changes it underwent. For the first step‚ we mixed nitric acid and copper powder‚ and noticed that a yellowish brown gas emerged‚ along with effervescence. The red solid disappeared and became a blue liquid. We know that we produced copper nitrate‚ nitrate gas‚ and water because the only two blue solutions in “A New Language” are copper sulfate and copper nitrate

The primary objective in the lab is to determine the molecular formula of Copper Oxide through synthesis of copper oxide. In the first procedure‚ an empty crucible‚ Bunsen Burner‚ and electronic scale were placed onto the workbench. The electronic scale was zeroed before the crucible was placed on it. The total mass of the empty crucible was 88.000g. Afterwards‚ 10 grams of copper powder was placed into the crucible and weighed to be 98.000 g. The crucible with the copper was placed onto the Bunsen

The Copper Cycle Alexes Montalvo Chem 1500-10 September 26‚ 2012 The Copper Cycle Introduction: The Copper Cycle is a popular experiment used to determine if an element‚ in this instance‚ copper‚ reverts to its elemental form after a chain of reactions. This experiment is very dangerous because of the reactions between the strong acids and bases. In this experiment I performed a series of reactions starting with

experiment‚ synthesis of copper compounds‚ the purpose was to recover the original amount of copper after series of chemical reactions. Then returning the copper back to its original form. The copper wire originally weighted 1.0099 g‚ but after the copper was transformed into Cu(OH)2 to CuO to CuSO4 and finally into Cu‚ the mass of the recovered copper was 1.1023g; the percent yield was 109%. Since the percent yield is more than 100%‚ an error must have occurred somewhere in the lab. A possible error could

may affected the mass of the copper was recovered and also the percentage of yield. According to the law of conservation of matter‚ the mass of the copper will not change even though there are many chemical reactions happened which also mean that the mass of copper contained in solutions or precipitates remain the same as the copper in the beginning. And it is necessary to synthesize the various copper compounds in order to recover metal because the amount of copper might be left due to some errors

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

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.
