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

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

When you mix copper‚ silver‚ and nitrate together‚ you will end up with silver nitrate solution will turn blue (it has become copper nitrate). On the piece of copper‚ there would be a coating of solid silver. If a chemical reaction is going to be observed when chemicals are mixed‚ heated or any other means of altering the substance‚ then we will be able to predict the products formed. If it is observed that in the original versus the changed substance no new substances are formed‚ the change is reversible

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

Copper in Silver Nitrate Lab: Making Silver Sabrina Kate S. Carranza – Chemistry Hour 6 I. Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to distinguish the relationships between reactants and products‚ in addition to expanding on concepts such as single displacement reactions‚ mole ratio values‚ moles to mass‚ theoretical yields‚ limiting reactants‚ excess‚ stoichiometric relationships and percentage errors.

3rd‚ 2009 Lab Report #3: Copper Cycle Abstract: The purpose of the experiment is to cycle solid copper through a series of five reactions. At different stages of the cycle‚ copper was present in different forms. First reaction involves reaction between the copper and nitric acid‚ and copper changed from elemental state to an aqueous. The second reaction converted the aqueous Cu2+ into the solid copper (2) hydroxide. In the third reaction Cu(OH)2 decomposed into copper 2 oxide and water when heated

Chemical Reaction of copper compounds Introduction: In this experiment‚ the objective was to conduct a series of chemical reactions that contain copper or copper compounds. That is to say that the products of each chemical reaction were used in the next reaction. The process starts with a solid copper wire dissolved in nitric acid and the end product is copper powder. The product which was used from the previous reaction is the limiting. In the initial step‚ the solid copper is the limiting reactant

Quantitative Analysis: % Copper in an Ore May 3‚ 2006 Abstract: In this experiment we were given an unknown sample of ore. Using the spectrophotometric analysis and the electrogravimetric analysis‚ we found the unknown percentage of copper in the unknown sample of ore was to be 17.6% by mass. Introduction: Chemical analysis takes place under two different scenarios. In one case‚ you need to find out the chemical identity of some material. The first kind of analysis‚ in which the chemical

experiment is to convert copper metal through a series of intermediate copper compounds back into copper metal. By weighing the copper at the beginning and at the end of the experiment the percentage yield can be determined. Method: The experiment was carried out as outlined in the practical manual.
