Kat Castro Luis Veliz 11/03/2022 Cycle of Copper Objectives: Learning how to utilise both percent recovery and different types of reactions through copper. Procedures: Followed as directed in the notebook. Results: Table 1 : Initial and Final Amounts of Copper. Copper Granules Started With 0.4 g Copper Granules Ended With 0.04 g The table above shows both the initial amount of Cu granules, 0.4g, and the final amount of Cu granules, 0.04g. Table 2 : Procedure Analysis Questions. Question Answer What products are present in the solution once the reaction is complete? (Regarding reaction one). Cu(NO3)2+2NO2+2H2 O
Reference the balanced chemical equation for Reaction (2) above. In addition to Cu(OH)2, what other chemical product formed in the solution? NaNO3 Consider both Reaction (2) and Reaction (3). Which products are removed during the washing and decantation steps (step #11 - #12)? NaNO3 Which products were formed upon the addition of H2SO4 in step #13? CuSO4, H2O What type of reaction is Reaction (5)? single displacement Which element is being oxidized and which element is being reduced in Reaction (5)? Zinc is being oxidized and Copper is being reduced. What color is the recovered metallic Cu? Does it resemble your starting material from step #1? It was a darker colour (redder) than what we started off with. Not as "orange-y" The table above shows both the questions and answers to the procedure analysis questions. Analysis: As shown above in Table 1, the precent recovery of the copper was only 10%. It is technically possible to get a calculation of over 100% recovery, but that just means that there was extra zinc still in the reaction. There were also plenty of observations made during different
