Conclusion
The Synthesis of Copper Compound lab was to take a regular copper wire and turn it into a metallic copper which is a pure substance. When copper reacts with nitric acid several physically properties can be seen happening for example: the colour changing and gas vapor starting to form. Many of the other reactions were similar to this that I and my partner saw such as: the formation of copper (II) hydroxide, decomposing the compound (CuO (OH) 2) by heating it, adding a different acid compound (H2SO4), and mixing solid zinc. There were several unknown variables because in the lab manual book it stated that to add this much of x substance if the compound does not change colour or state. We did not know how much was required to put at
