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? Sulfuric acid

Identification of a Copper Compound by Percent Mass Unknown Compound: #9 Abstract: The objective of this experiment was to identify the unknown pure copper salt compound of #9. To do this‚ the mass of copper in the unknown was calculated and then divided by the mass of the whole compound to get the percent copper. The molecular weight was also calculated by dividing mass of copper compound used by moles of compound in unknown sample. The percent copper averaged out to 31.6% while the molecular

: 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

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

experiment‚ we were trying to see whether copper‚ after a chain of chemical reactions‚ will revert back to its elemental form. Procedure: First‚ I added nitric acid with copper in a beaker‚ which turned into a copper nitrate‚ a blue-green solution. Afterwards‚ I added sodium hydroxide‚ and my solution colored to a dark blue solution called copper hydroxide. I heated the solution to evaporate the water and I got a brownish-blackish solid called copper oxide. Once the solid appeared‚ I poured

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
