A Series Of Chemical Reactions Lab Report

It is a chemical reaction where the colors of both solution and iron strip changed. It is

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. When solid CuO reacted with sulfuric acid, the copper returned to solution as an ion (Cu2+). The cycle of reactions was completed with the reaction where elemental copper was regenerated by Zn and Cu

The Cu Later lab experiment is designed to allow you to practice lab skills in implementing and performing a series of reactions. Specifically, four types of chemical reactions will occur: oxidation/reduction; double replacement; single replacement; and decomposition. You will begin with a known amount of copper metal, which, after progressing through several steps, is reproduced. In this experiment you will observe and record the various changes such as heat, color changes, and production that occur. This procedure is used to observe some chemical reactions of copper and its compounds while also performing the lab appropriately as to retain the copper as much as

Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL, then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield.

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to observe a variety of chemical reactions and to identify patterns in the conversion of reactants into products.

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.

Before the synthesis of the Copper Iodine Compound, the identities provided (CuNO3)2 and Nal weighed 1.65 g and 4.7 g, respectively. After being weighed, the (CuNO3)2 exhibited a blue color, while the Nal, through observation, was a white color. However, when both identities were combined, the product turned into a brown and red rocky material. Once 20 mL of deionized water was added, the product quickly turned pale pink paste. After the solution was repeatedly washed with a total of an additional 100 mL of deionized water, the product was powdery and pink with small grains, and was left to air-dry. Once the product was air dried, it was observed to be a pale pink color, while the filter paper was stiff as the product was hard and dry. Therefore, the solid was scraped off onto a recrystallizing dish. However, the mass of an empty recrystallizing dish needed to be recorded in order to compare how much of the synthesized copper iodide was obtained. Within this case, the empty recrystallizing dish used weighed 32.01 g, the product on the empty dish weighed 1.03 g, having a total weight of 33.04 g.

I started with elemental copper metal and then reactions occur step by step as follows:

3) Repeat the drying process just to be sure that the copper is completely dry, and again determine the mass of the copper and the beaker.

The lab performed required the use of quantitative and analytical analysis along with limiting reagent analysis. The reaction of Copper (II) Sulfate, CuSO4, mass of 7.0015g with 2.0095g Fe or iron powder produced a solid precipitate of copper while the solution remained the blue color. Through this the appropriate reaction had to be determined out of the two possibilities. Through the use of a vacuum filtration system the mass of Cu was found to be 2.1726g which meant that through limiting reagent analysis Fe was determined to be the limiting reagent and the chemical reaction was determined to be as following:-

The main purpose of this experiment was to show that single displacement reactions between metals according to their reactivity, with more reactive elements having the power to displace less reactive elements and take their place in a chemical compound (Beran, 2014). This was supported by the results of the experiment, where solid metals were combined with aqueous solutions that contained another element, and reactions only took place when the solid metal was more reactive than the other element in the compound. Only three attempted trials resulted in a failure to produce a reaction, namely the combinations of copper with hydrochloric acid, and copper with nickel sulfate. The outcomes of these trials are justifiably reasonable because copper is ranked lower in the

During this experiment, both the water and the copper had gone through many different temperature changes and a physical change. Originally, the copper was very rusty and old. However, because the copper is a metal and can raise to very high temperatures without melting, we were able to perform this experiment. When putting the copper over the flame, the flame became more of a red color as it touched the copper, because it was transferring the heat and the copper gradually became hotter from the original temperature over the course of 2 minutes. After the copper was done heating, it was placed right into the water. The water began to slowly evaporate as the copper released energy, causing a good amount of heat. This would cause the temperature

Copper is a pollutant of concern due to its toxic effects on aqua- ecosystems, its ability to accumulate in sediments and tissues of living organisms, and its non-biodegradable nature. Copper is widely used in industries such as manufacturing, building and construction, electrical and electronic, and industrial machinery and equipment production [2]. The future availability of Cu may not be guaranteed because of its increasing demand and shrinking reserves [2, 3]. Therefore, it is required to remove/recover Cu from industrial wastewaters [4]. The Cu removal/recovery from wastewaters is admirable from both health and economic point of views.

The reaction characteristics of basic copper carbonate 〖mCuCO〗_3⋅n〖Cu(OH)〗_2 were observed by changing the reaction mole ratio. The reaction mole ratio of sodium carbonate to copper chloride (II) was controlled from 1.08 to 1.68. Fig. 1 shows the XRD patterns of copper carbonate powder. At a reaction ratio of 1.08, paratacamite (Cu_2 Cl(OH)_3 ), beside alkali copper carbonate, was formed because of incomplete reaction at a copper content of 53.9 wt%. Lack of sodium carbonate may cause incomplete reaction with copper chloride (II) because of low pH (6.0) of the solution [12]. The copper content according to the reaction mole ratio were 57.7, 50.5, 58.8, 59.3, and 59.8 wt% at the reaction mole ratios of 1.20, 1.32, 1.44, 1.56, and 1.68, respectively.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES The learning objectives of this experiment are to. . . ! ! determine changes in enthalpy and entropy of the reaction of zinc with copper sulfate using two methods: electrochemistry and calorimetry. compare the enthalpy values obtained by the two methods. BACKGROUND Thermodynamics is concerned with energy changes that occur in chemical and physical process es. The enthalpy and entropy changes of a system undergoing such processes are interrelated by the change in free energy, ªG, according to the equation
