Matter and Chemical Reactions Pre-Lab Preparation: Purpose: The reason we are doing this lab is because we are trying to see what will happen. When you put copper and silver nitrate together. Also after that I will see if any elements reacted and if so which ones and what is the name of the compound they formed. Hypothesis: If I put the copper into the silver nitrate, then it will make some type of solid. Materials: copper wire AgNO3 solution Sandpaper Stirring Rod 50-mL Graduated Cylinder 50-mL Beaker Funnel Filter Paper 250-mL Erlenmeyer Flask Ring Stand Small Iron Ring Plastic Petri Dish Paper Clip Bunsen Burner Tongs Pre-Lab Questions: 1.) Read the entire CHEMLAB. 2.)Prepare all written material that you will take…show more content…
Rub the copper wire with the sandpaper until it is shiny. - Nothing 2.) Measure approximately 25 mL AgNO3 (silver nitrate) solution into a 50-mL beaker. CAUTION: Do not allow to contact skin or clothing. - Nothing 3.) Make and record a observation of the physical properties of the copper wire and AgNO3 solution. Copper Wire: solid, smooth, bronze, shiny Silver Nitrate or solution: clear, liquid 4.) Coil the piece of copper wire to a length that will fit into the beaker. Make a hook on the end of the coil to allow the coil to be suspended from the stirring rod. - Nothing 5.) Hook the coil onto the middle of the stirring rod. Place the stirring rod across the top of the beaker immersing some of the coil in the AgNO3 solution. The copper turned black after a sec. in the solution. 6.) Make a record observations of the wire and the solution every five mins. for 20 mins. Time (min) Observations 0 Min It turned black really fast. 5 Min It is crystalizing and expanding, looks blackish. 15 Min It is less black and the crystallization is getting bigger. 20 Min It still looks the same as before at 15
