Conservation of mass:
How is copper transformed in chemical reaction?
There were 3 objectives for this lab they were demonstrate that mass is conserved in chemical transformations, practice balancing out chemical equations for reactions observed in the lab and practice the skill of recognizing chemical reactions and making detailed observations.
Part A of lab (preparation of copper (II) nitrate from copper metal). Weigh out ~ 0.2 g of copper foil pieces (record to the nearest .001 g) into a weigh boat. Describe its physical appearance in the lab notebook. Pour the foil pieces into the bottom of a 10 ml graduated cylinder. Place the cylinder under the bench top snorkel. Add 3 ml of 6 M nitric acid (HNO3) to the 10 ml graduated cylinder. Use a glass rod to push down any floating pieces of copper foil. A vigorous reaction will quickly ensure. The brown gas being evolved is nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The copper is oxidized in this process, forming Cu (NO3)2. Record detailed observations of the reaction, including: initial and final color of the solutions, sounds, heat evolved, gases evolved, what happened to the metal, etc.
Part b (preparation of copper (II) hydroxide from copper (II) nitrate). Pour the cooled copper (II) nitrate solution from reaction A into a 100 ml beaker. Wash out the graduated cylinder with 10ml distilled water, and add the water into the 100 ml beaker. Repeat this process, so that 20 ml of water will have been added. Carefully add 5.0 ml of 6 M NaOH to
The penny sample is next. Initaly three pennies were picked out, observed, weighed, and recorded. Then placed into the fune hood were three beakers with 25mL of 6M HNO_3 and one penny each. The reaction made by this process
The main objective of this experiment is to differentiate between a physical change and a chemical change.
In this experiment an elemental copper was cycled a series of five reactions where it ended with pure elemental copper as well, but at different stages of the cycle the copper was in different forms. In the first reaction, elemental copper was reacted with concentrated nitric acid where copper changed the form from solid to aqueous. Second reaction then converted the aqueous Cu2+ into the solid copper II hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) through reaction with sodium hydroxide. The third reaction takes advantage of the fact that Cu(OH)2 is thermally unstable. When heated, Cu(OH)2 decomposes (breaks down into smaller substances) into copper II oxide and water. When the solid CuO is reacted with sulfuric acid, the copper is returned to solution as an ion (Cu2+). The cycle of reactions is completed with the
3. Find the number of atoms of each of the substances involved in the reaction.
Obtain a 50 mL beaker for the experiment. In the first part of the experiment, you dissolve the zinc core of a penny and leave the copper covering intact by putting four notches in
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
For the first part, the vinegar I used acted as an acid. Therefore, when the acid in the vinegar reacted with the salt, both work together, as a chemical reaction, to remove the copper oxide on half the penny that was dipped into the solution.
-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
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:
1) Allow the copper in the beaker to dry at low temperature in a drying oven for at least one hour.
Experimental approach: In the first reaction, copper metal turnings oxidize when put in contact with nitric acid and become copper nitrate.
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 experiment was composed of a series of five successive reactions that utilize five complementary reagents to produce four different copper compounds before reverting it back to its original form. The first chemical reaction that was completed was an oxidation-reduction reaction between copper (Cu) and nitric acid (HNO3), where copper was the reducing agent, the substance that loses electrons for reduction to occur in another substance, and nitric acid was the oxidizing agent, the substance that gains electrons the donated electrons so that reduction can occur in another substance. During this reaction copper was oxidized from an oxidation state of 0 to an oxidation state of +2, which resulted nitric acid becoming reduced. In addition, this
A chemical change takes place when one or more substances are changed into entirely new substances with different properties. A chemical change occurs when baking a cake.
