The aspirator was turned to medium high, and then the copper was poured onto wetted filter paper. Using distilled water to remove all copper from the beaker. Once completely on filter paper 6mL of acetone was added to the copper to help dry it out. The filter paper was then removed and set down to dry completely. Once dry the filter paper was weighed with the copper on it and subtracted from the original weight to see the amount of copper left after
The mass was recorded and transferred to a 50 ml beaker. 4 ml of 6 M HNO3 was added to the beaker containing the copper. For step 2, 10 ml of distilled water was added to the beaker. Then, 6 M NaOH was added to the solution (drop wise), until placing a drop of the solution on red litmus paper turned it blue. For step 3, the solution was heated with a hot plate.
The watch glass was removed with the beaker tongs. Using a rubber bulb and a stirring rod to stir the solution continuously, 15.00mL of .25M BaCl2 solution was added to the solution in the beaker. The watch glass is replaced and the solution is keep hot but not boiling for 15 minutes. The precipitate was allowed to settle. When the liquid above the precipitate was clear, the solution was tested for completeness of precipitation when a few drops of BaCl2 solution were added from a pipette.
After heating, the mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered by vacuum filtration into a fritted funnel to yield a purple product. The product was washed 3 times with (5mL) portions of chilled 6M HCL, then Ethanol, and lastly with acetone. The resulting product was placed into a vial and left to dry in a vacuum desiccator for 1 week and weighed the next week. The yield was 6.029g. The second experiment, procedure 1, combined [Co(NH3)5 (H2O)]Cl2 (0.0060M, 1.52g) and (25mL) of distilled water to an 125mL Erlenmeyer flask.
The Loss and then Retrieval of Copper through Multiple Reactions Lab Partners: Justin Dunn and Alexis Almaguer Experiment #2 Section: 506 Intro: All science occurs within rules. One very important rule is that matter can neither be created nor destroyed and this rule will be expressed and proven in this lab by removing copper and then regaining it through multiple reactions, heating, and stirring. This experiment allows the students to learn the different types of reactions as well as learn new techniques within the laboratory such as vacuum filtration and handling hot glassware, but most importantly proves the law of conservation of mass. Materials and Methods: to begin the experiment a 50 ml beaker, hot plate, plastic funnel, aspirator,
Re-formation of Copper Metal through Chemical Reactions of the Copper Cycle Evon Looper Introduction Copper is a necessary metal in human development, however in high concentrations it can become a toxin for both human and ecosystem health. Because of its abundance on Earth, it is important for scientists to examine the properties and characteristics of copper. One of these characteristics is the ability to re-form copper metal after going through a series of different chemical reactions that make up the Copper Cycle. Materials and Methods The experiment began by measuring 0.2455 g of copper turnings using an analytical balance, which was transferred to a 50 mL beaker. The beaker was then moved to a stir plate with a stir bar and held in place by a ring stand.
12. Place a paper towel over the drain, pour the content of the well plate, throw the paper towel and rinse the well plate. DATA, OBSERVATIONS, AND CALCULATIONS: Data Table: Oxidation - Reduction | | Reactions | Mg in Na2SO4 | Bubbles | Zn in MgSO4 | Small bubbles | Pb in Zn(NO3)2 | Dark lead changed into lighter color | Pb in FeCl3 | Changed the lead into slight green yellow | Fe in CuSO4 | Changed the iron into orange color | Note: I added more than 10 drops to make sure that the pieces are well covered. QUESTIONS: A. Based on your observations make an activity series of the metals used.
Using a measuring cylinder, add 50cm3 of 1.0mol dm-3 sulphuric(VI) acid to the thyme extract in the conical flask. 8. Titrate the solution in the conical flask with the potassium manganate(VII) solution until a pale pink colour persists for 10 seconds. 9. Repeat the titration until there are two titres within 0.1cm3 of each other.
Measure and record the mass of the test tube and metal. 5. Place the test tube containing the metal into the beaker of water and continue heating (10 min). Leave the test tube in the boiling water bath while you complete steps 6 and 7. 6.
Two drops of water were added to the cooled crucible. The crucible with lid completely on it was placed above the clay triangle. The product was reheated for three minutes. The crucible and product was heated for about five to eight minutes. BE SURE THE CRUCIBLE IS COOL.
