The Statue Of Copper

Copper is a metal, that people obtain from chalcopyrite and bornite ores and minerals, by smelting, leaching and electrolysis, which are chemical reactions. Yet, it belongs to a sub-group of metals called ‘Transition Metals’. Existing as an element, it’s small particles (atoms) are very close to each other (most common state for copper is solid), but aren’t chemically bonded. Consequently, it is a 26th element on the periodic table, meaning that it’s atomic structure consists of 26 protons, and therefore 26 electrons.

Copper is really a metal that has helped human society as we know it today a lot. It was found already 8000 BC and used not

Copper is a reddish-brown metal, widely used in plumbing and electrical wiring; it is perhaps most familiar to people in the United States in the form of the penny. (Although since 1983, pennies are actually made of zinc surrounded by a paper-thin copper foil to give them the traditional appearance of pennies.) Copper is oxidized by concentrated nitric acid, HNO3, to produce Cu2+ ions; the nitric acid is reduced to nitrogen dioxide, a poisonous brown gas with an irritating odor:

The objective of this experiment was to manipulate the state of copper by taking copper through four different forms and to observe and understand the method behind each reaction. The transformations include starting from 0.1588g of Copper(II) Chloride dihydrate to produce Copper(II) hydroxide. Copper(II) Chloride dihydrate was dissolved in water forming a light blue colour and Sodium hydroxide was added in order to form Copper(II) hydroxide a dark blue precipitate. In this reaction Sodium Chloride is soluble and Copper hydroxide is insoluble in water, therefore, forms precipitate. When the dark blue Copper(II) hydroxide was then, heated it decomposed to form Copper(II) Oxide, a black solid. Copper(II) oxide, an insoluble metal oxide, and sulfuric acid reacted to produced Copper(II) sulfate, a soluble salt and blue in colour. Copper(II) sulfate was

For nearly 2500 years the Parthenon, located in Athens, Greece has manifested the ancient Greek notions of justice, freedom and artistic excellence. One of the most well-known artifacts that were once on the Parthenon 's exterior were the Elgin Marbles. These sacred marbles were crafted by the well-regarded Phidias, consisting of an extensive amount of Greek ideologies and exceptional artistic impressions. The Elgin marbles were taken from the Parthenon by Lord Elgin and brought to Britain. Hundreds of years later, the Greeks claim these marbles were once their prized possession, and demand the return of them. Many may wonder, why let a so called 'prized possession ' be kept in such a low security setting with little protection? The only

Scientists are fascinated with copper and its ability to be both harmful and beneficial depending on the form that the metal is in. A major issue that excessive copper has produced is copper pollution. The experiment conducted enable copper to be reacted through a series of chemical reactions to explore its ionic and elemental form. The properties of copper salts produced and the characterizes of the reactions were recorded. It also explored the reactivity of copper in the different chemical environments and assisted in making it more clear to find ways to deal with copper

Copper’s atomic mass is 63.546 g.mol -1 and it has a density of 8.9 g.cm -3 at 20℃.

I will be writing my essay about a painting by Zineb Trifi-Sjahsam named America. What is the symbolic meaning of the Statue of Liberty? What is the interpretation of the Constitution? Of course, I learned about the Statue of Liberty and the Constitution in grade school and what it is supposed to mean. But, when we take a step back and look at the world today is freedom what we really see? Now sure, people aren’t walking around still referring to their boss as “masta” or being put into concentration camps because of their beliefs, but sure enough people are being targeted because of their beliefs in different forms now days. I choose this painting because in the mist of the horrible events going on in today’s world this painting still tells

The museum I visited was the Kimbell Museum of Art and I chose this museum because I checked out their website and their artworks they carried interest me. My overall feelings about the museum were great. I loved the atmosphere, it carried and it had amazing works of art. Each piece carried its own unique meaning, therefore I will most likely be visiting this museum again. At the beginning of my visit it was hard to find the four different works of art since they were all from different ancient cultures, each piece was in a different section or building. However, I was able to find all the cultures I needed and their beauty was worth the search. The first work of art I took a look at was named, “Head”. It was from the ancient African culture

With no name and created by an unknown artist, this stone statue was created in the 7th-8th century (during the Chinese Tang dynasty) and is a point of intrigue. Although not much is known about the sculpture, it feels as if the statue looks through the sense of self and has a divine sense. Like all ancient statues, much of the colour has faded away. Colour itself is an important aspect in the representation of the figure, due to the symbology associated with each colour. Even though the statue has been given a physical shape, it does not exist in the sense that it is made up of many different animal parts.

Egyptians unlike the Greeks, they have massive sculptures compared with the statues of the Parthenon is pediment and much of their existing art comes from tombs and monuments and the have great passion on preserving life after death and the past. The temple at Abu Simbel has four large statues at its entrance of Ramesses II and these statues are estimated 21 meters tall. Ramesses II is seating on his throne and under these huge sculptures there are small statues portraying Ramesses’ defeated enemies. The statues are engraved on the cliff depicted with a belt which held the folds of cloth together. The statues are believed to have worn a robe that Herodotus called kalasaris. The design of Ramesses II was intentionally designed to show him as

The Statue of Liberty, dedicated on Bedloe's Island in New York Harbor on October 28, 1886, was presented to the American people by the French in an emblem of Franco-American unity. A universal symbol of political freedom and democracy, Lady Liberty is the work of a talented French sculptor,Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi.The statue's full name is "Liberty Enlightening the World."

Copper is a key mineral in many different body systems. It is central to building strong tissue, maintaining blood volume, and producing energy in your cells. Yet, for all its critical importance, you don't have much copper in your body. In the foods we commonly eat, there are only very small amounts of copper. As much as any dietary mineral, the amount of copper you eat is directly related to the amounts of minimally processed plant foods you get every day. Copper is required to manufacture collagen, a major structural protein in the body. When copper deficiency becomes severe, tissue integrity—particularly bones and blood vessels—can begin to break down. The DRI report also established a Tolerable Upper Intake Level (UL) of 10 mg per day

A unique attribute of copper is how it is a heavy and thick roofing material, and its size won’t change when facing extreme heat in the summer. The material also changes color as it gets older to a green-blue hue, called the patina process, which is an aspect of it that many people like.

There are three main parts of an atom, they are the proton, neutron, and electron. The proton and neutron are in the middle of the atom in a nucleus, that's why they're called nucleons. The electron is on the outside around the nucleus, it's a negative charge while a proton is a positive charge and a neutron has no charge. Copper has six isotopes and the atomic number is 29 with the element symbol Cu. Is in group 11 and period 4. Copper is one of the most important metals, it conducts good electricity and heat, it was one of first metals a human ever used. It's also one of the softest and bendable element there is. Isotopes are different from each other depending on the amount off mass. Since the atomic number of copper is 29, it has 29 protons
