The purpose of the lab copper- silver nitrate reaction is to find the mole relationships between reactants and products. My hypothesis was that the mole relationship between silver and copper will be 2 mol Cu: 1 mol Ag ratio. My hypothesis is supported by the data I found during the lab. First evidence, in the beginning of my calculation I have to determine the mass of copper that reacted during the experiment and converted to moles of copper and got .0033 moles of Cu. Next, I determined the mass of silver produced during the experiment and converted into moles of silver and got .0063 moles of Ag. After I found the moles of copper and silver, I determined the value of the ratio of .0063 moles Ag /.0033 moles Cu and got 1.90 moles. 1.90 mol

Weddings usually give off positive connotations, however in Roselily’s mind she disturbs the happy wedding with dark thoughts such as the idea of murder. Deviating from the topic of “personal spirit”, Brent studies the ferocious thoughts swarming Roselily’s mind. “Roselily’s rebellious thoughts during the wedding ceremony go so far as to enter the realms of murder and blasphemy. She expresses a wish that she could be free of her three
