The Formula Of Zinc And Hydrochloric Acid

Used stirring rods to completely remove copper from that wire. And then completed the removal of copper using 5 drops of 6M HCl, adding it onto copper. There will produced copper in a solution. Connected Buchner flask to the vacuum line and place filter paper in it to completely washed off the copper. Then, add 95% ethanol to copper and leave it for 1 min and turned section back for 5 mins. Measured mass of clean, dry watch glass. Transfer copper to watch glass and dry it under heat lamp for 20 mins, allowed it to cool to room temperature and then accurately determine its mass.

In this task the concentration of an unknown sample of copper sulphate using colorimetry was used to find the concentration. In this investigation copper sulphate was used which is CuSO4.5H20 as a formula. To make a standard solution which was 1M, the same clean equipment was used to make up the standard solution as used to make sodium carbonate. However there was one difference and that was that the hot distilled water was used to dissolve the copper sulphate crystals. There had to be enough hot water in order to dissolve the crystals into the beaker and then add cold distilled water to cool the solution.

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

Washing of the copper is necessary in this experiment to separate the iron from the copper and make sure the iron is not counted in the mass of the copper.

A chemical reaction is when substances (reactants) change into other substances (products). The five general types of chemical reactions are synthesis (also known as direct combination), decomposition, single replacement (also known as single displacement), double replacement (also known as double displacement), and combustion. In this lab, the five general types of chemical reactions were conducted and observations were taken before, during, and after the reaction. Then the reactants and observations were used to determine the products to form a balanced chemical equation. The purpose of this lab was to learn and answer the question: How can observations be used to determine the identity of substances produced in a chemical 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

The purpose of this lab was to determine the limiting reactant in a reaction between copper sulfate and iron. Using the reaction between copper sulfate and iron, the reaction was observed to see the reaction and transformation of matter. The copper sulfate was placed into a beaker, as the excess reactant, then iron filings added until the heated solution was completely reacted. This reaction created an excess of leftover. The law of conservation of mass can be observed in this reaction, and using the data found, the percent yield calculated.

Put approximately 9-10(g) copper ore into beaker. Use spatula to break up any large pieces. Next add 17ml H2SO4 (aq) (hydro sulfuric acid) to the beaker. Began mixing until all or most traces of blue dissipate; or the copper ore will no longer dissolve (should appear as a milky liquid). Next use pipette to and remove solution and divide solution into 2 individual test tubes then Place test tubes into centrifuge and run centrifuge for 1 minute. Remove from centrifuge machine Fill a cuvette with the clear solution from the test tube making sure not to disturb the sediment at the bottom. Note the solution should bluish in tint Final place the cuvette in the colorimeter. Then record data and calculate in results section.

37. Chemical formulas are written so that the charges of cations and anions neutralize (cancel) one another.

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to observe the many physical and chemical properties of copper as it undergoes a series of chemical reactions. Throughout this process, one would also need to acknowledge that even though the law of conservation of matter/mass suggests that one should expect to recover the same amount of copper as one started with, inevitable sources of error alter the results and produce different outcomes. The possible sources of error that led to a gain or loss in copper are demonstrated in the calculation of percent yield (percent yield= (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100.

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:-

In the fourth reaction, 15 mL of 6.0 M sulfuric acid was added to the copper (II) oxide while stirring. The balanced equation for this reaction is as follows:

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

At the end of the experiment when the lid was removed, it was found out that the blue colour of the copper (II) sulphate solution has faded away. It was turned to pale grey and there were some precipitates present. It was the zinc powder that was in excess to ensure that the copper (II) sulphate solution could react fully with the zinc powder.
