and double displacement through finding the percent composition of pennies. We will also once again be working with titration in this lab. We will titrate the solution until we are only left with a solid form which will tell us about the composition of pennies. Introduction: The weight of a post 1982 penny is 2.5 grams‚ and the percent of zinc is 97.5% leaving only 2.5% copper. The amount of Zinc in a post 1982 penny is 2.437 grams‚ and the amount of copper is 0.062 grams. Along with all of this we

this lab experiment was to learn about the different densities of different kinds of metal. We used pennies made out of different metals to determine this. After we gather the data‚ it’ll be used to determine the metal used. Hypothesis: In the lab‚ I expect that the pennies before 1982 would be heavier than those that are after 1983 because the metal was initially changed because the earlier pennies cost more to make. So I think that since the heavier metal was more expensive to make‚ then they just

percentage of copper in a copper-clad penny and the thicknes of the copper layer on the copper-clad penny. After 1982‚ copper coating has been used in the creation of the penny because the cost of pure copper has increase to the point that the amount needed t omake a penny cost far more than the actual value of the penny. This lab allowed us to see just how much copper coating was used in a particular penny. Not knowing the about information‚ my original hypothesis was that the penny would contain

OLD COINS TURN TO GOLD DESIGN: Problem or Research Question: How does zinc effects the color change in a copper penny? Hypothesis: If copper and zinc comes together‚ then it will form brass‚ which gives gold color to copper penny. Variables: There were no variables at this experiment PROCEDURES: Materials: Zinc (SN) filling‚ 3M NaOH solution‚ Copper penny‚ tongs‚ Hot plate‚ 100 ml beaker‚ 250 ml beaker‚ Bunsen burner‚ Water‚ Spoon. Procedure: First‚ we turned on the hot plate.

exactly nine months after World War II more babes where born than ever before. Approximately 3.4 million babies where born in 1946 20 percent more than the previous year‚ the trend continued through 1947 with 3.8 million babies. The trend continued until 1964 when the trend finally lost steam and by that time just over 76 million babies where born‚almost 40 percent of the entire nations population at the time. This is where the name “baby boom” came from. A quote from a known historian by the name

Materials: A large potato Two pennies Two zinc-plated nails or screws Three pieces of copper wire A very small light bulb or LED light 1) Get a potato and cut it in half. Then make a small slit in each half just big enough to put a penny into. 2) Cut two pieces of copper wire and wrap one around one of the pennies a few times‚ and wrap the other one around the other penny a few times as well. 3) Take a third piece of copper wire‚ and wrap it around one of the

Tiffany Yuen Investigation 21: How Much Copper Is in the Coin? RC Bauer‚ JP Birk‚ DJ Sawyer We calibrated three different molarities of copper (II) nitrate. We tested for the %Transmittance of 1M‚ 0.1M‚ and 0.01M and plotted the data collected on a calibration curve based on concentration and absorbance. We used nitric acid to dissolve a penny to produce another copper (II) nitrate to test its %Transmittance and plot that on the graph to discover the concentration of that substance which came

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Main Problem: How can the ionization chamber detect if the environment is surrounded or has Radon? Sub- Problems: What are the primary sources of radon gas? What elements are found when radon decays? How can this gas cause different kinds of diseases? OBJECTIVE: Build a simple ionization chamber that is capable of detecting fairly low levels of radiation BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY Radon is a cancer-causing gas. It comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil
