Colloidal Silver Lab

Potential error could result in when quantitatively transferring in any step and spillinng or not transferring all of any given solution. When diluting each flask has a different level for where its specific volume is, so overfilling the flask is possible when not being focused on. The condition of each penny can impact the results by if some copper was chipped off, or if anything attached to the pennies could impact test results. All of these could result in a different than desired copper percentage. It is important that the absorbance of each penny be within the range of absorbance the calibration curve has. This is because the curve created for this lab was made with 0.00 – 10.00mL of Cu^(2+)stock solution when using those values idealy this curve should therefore be 0-100% copper percentage. If values were found outside of this calibration curve then there would be problems with either calculations or a different curve would be needed to properly record

Silvershell Beach is the home to many different aquatic species and other forms of wildlife. Last lab block the class and I went into the ocean at Silvershell beach and took seven different seine net samples. With each sample we took, we noticed a variety of different organisms. As we moved around different areas of the ocean, we would come out with changing species and number of species that we did not find in other areas of the water. Species we found included sea robin, hermit crabs, moon jellies, minnows, shrimp, eels, and more. Sample one and two were taken from around the same area in the water and there was a reappearance of three of the species. In sample one we found hermit crabs, minnows, moon jellies, and a sea robin. In sample two

I also must ensure that the cathode is properly dried before it is weighed so that we can obtain an accurate result. And finally I must make sure that the electrodes are exposed to the same amount of copper sulphate solution so they must be immersed to the same depth and in an equal amount of copper sulphate solution each time.

-If the copper metal is submerged in the silver nitrate solution then in reaction, a pure, solid (Ag) silver product is created with an excess of (Cu (NO3)2) copper (II) aqueous liquid because a single displacement reaction occurs where the balance equation is then

During the heating period, a noticeable change took place in the sugar test tube – it began to caramelize, melting into a golden brown color, then finally a dark brownish/black hue; it remained constant at that color. The copper sulfate began losing color when applied to the heat, turning from a bright blue to white and remained white after heating. Once cooled, 2-3 drops of water were added to each tube; the sugar remained the same, while the copper sulfate immediately bubbled and transformed from white back to its original blue hue. Next 1-3 grams of the hydrated copper sulfate were added to a crucible, which was weighed prior to adding the sample, then heated gently with a Bunsen burner. Once the salt stopped changing color, it was heated for an additional 5 minutes, then the total mass was measured. Finally, a pea-sized amount of Epsom Salt was added to a test tube and heated for 1 minute without the tube becoming red

To start your experiment you need to get all your materials. You will need,three cups, three shells, acid, measuring spoons, electronic balance and water. First we're gonna pour 120 ml (water) in the three cups ( tps whole ⅛ ). Then were gonna put one shell in each cup and let them soak in the acid. Then we're gonna take them out and measure the different weight. Cup A will need a whole tps and the rest filled with water. Cup B is gonna need ¼ tps and the rest filled with water. Cup C will need ½ tps and the rest water. gonna need

Turned back to dark blue liquid, within a few minutes turned to solid and fuchsia

The claim to this Agar Pieces lab is that the cells that have a larger surface area to volume ratio are more efficient at diffusing essential nutrients. Another solution, is the rate of diffusion is related to cell size. Nutrients diffuse at a faster rate through small cells than they do through large cells. In this lab of Agar gel, the purpose of this experiment is to find the surface area and volume of the cell that may affect the ability of the molecule to be able to diffuse the cellular space.

Before placing the Aluminum foil into the Copper Chloride Water (CuCl2 + H2O), I had examined the characteristics of the aluminum foil. It came to view that the Aluminum foil was a silver-coloured, shiny metal. When the aluminum foil was placed into the CuCl2 Water solution, several observations were made.

The color in the volumetric flask is very pale and diluted in comparison to the original color.

Create a water bath by filling ½ of the 100 mL beaker with cool water, adding crushed ice to the beaker so the water level is just below the top, and sprinkling salt into the beaker

When the sulfuric acid was added to copper (II) oxide, the solution turned blue. This was due to the formation of aqueous copper (II) sulfate, which produced the copper ions to change the color of the solution.

12. The crocodile clips are attached to the copper electrodes of the experimental apparatus and the power supply is turned on. Simultaneously, the stopclock is started. The thermometer is checked every 30s. 13. After 300s the stopclock is stopped and the power supply is turned off. The negative cathode is carefully removed and is dried using a hair dryer. 14. When dry the negative cathode is placed on the electronic milligram balance and its final mass is recorded. 15. The positive anode and negative anode of the experimental apparatus are disposed and the electrolyte is poured out to ensure that the anode slime (impurities) does not contaminate the solution. 16. The electrodes of the experimental apparatus are replaced with new copper strips. 17. Steps 7 to 16 are repeated. However, this time, the rheostat is adjusted using the calibration apparatus until the multimeter shows approximate readings of 0.40 A, 0.60 A, 0.80 A and 1.00 A respectively. 18. Time permitting, the entire experiment is repeated. Safety Copper sulphate may cause irritation and burns if it comes into contact with the eyes. As standard lab procedure, safety goggles and lab coats must be worn at all times. Control of Variables Volume of Electrolyte Used

As stated, our solvent in this lab will be tert-butanol. We start by recording the freezing point of this substance without anything added. Then, we add various

0.5% of copper sulphate solution was added by drop at a time and and the test tube was shaked continuously.
