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

EXTRACTION OF COPPER FROM OXIDISED COPPER ORE Aim: To analyse how copper is obtained from oxidised copper ore using the processes of leaching‚ solid-liquid separation‚ displacing and electrowinning. Method: Refer to ‘Extraction of Copper from oxidised Copper Ore’ document pages 1-2 Results: Leaching: The blue particles in the copper ore which is copper was dissolved in the sulphuric acid and the solution turned into a blue colour. There was also sediment that was floating around

The Enthalpy of Formation of Magnesium Carbonate By: Jessica Miller T.A: Thomas Lab Partner: Rebekah Melanson Thursday Lab Room 106 Chemistry 1001-A Due Date: Thursday February 3rd 2011 Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to determine the enthalpy of formation of magnesium carbonate in a lab setting. This was done using a calorimeter‚ which was calibrated by adding a known amount of both hot and cold water. Following the calibration of the calorimeter‚ HCl was placed into the empty calorimeter

Zinc Tris-thiourea Sulfate (ZTS) is a Semi Organic Nonlinear Optical (NLO) material which finds applications in the area of laser technology‚ optical communication‚ data storage technology‚ and optical computing etc. The author has successfully grown ZTS crystal by gel method. Gel technique has been adopted at ambient temperature to attain better result. The grown crystals were transparent and colourless. The crystal size has been obtained the range about 5mm X 3mm X 2mm. Thermal study of ZTS crystal

Determining an enthalpy change of a displacement reaction Aim: To determine the enthalpy change for the displacement reaction between zinc powder and copper (II) sulphate solution. Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) → Cu2+ (s) + Zn2+ (aq) Theory: For the displacement reaction‚ an excess amount of zinc powder is added to the measured amount of aqueous copper (II) sulphate. The temperature change over a period of time has to be measured and thus‚ the enthalpy change for the reaction can be measured. The equation

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

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

Grant Thermodynamics – Enthalpy of Reaction and Hess’s Law I. Purpose The purpose of this lab is to verify Hess’s Law through the three reactions of NaOH and HCl‚ NH4Cl and NaOH‚ and NH3 and HCl. The sum of the enthalpies of the first two reactions should equal the enthalpy of the third reaction. II. Background Hess’s Law is used to determine the enthalpy of a reaction from adding two or more preceding reactions. To determine the enthalpies of certain chemical reactions

: The copper cycle IN TRODUCTION The purpose of the experiment is to recognize that change of state‚ change in colour‚ formation of a precipitate‚ or the evolution of heat are associated with a chemical change; to study reactions of copper. Copper is an element that can be found in nature in a variety of different compounds. The most common natural ore is the sulphide‚ known as chalcocite‚ Cu2S. This mineral is an important source of copper metal because it is about 80% copper by weight
