Purpose: The purpose of our experiment was to precipitate Copper (II) Phosphate Trihydrate and determine percent yield, also to react an aqueous solution of Copper (II) Chloride with aqueous Sodium Phosphate and describe the reaction. Procedure: To conduct our experiment 10 milliliters of CuCL2 and 8 milliliters NaPO4 was added to its own 50 milliliter beaker. These solutions were then combined in a 150 milliliter beaker and mixed for 1 minute. The PH of the mixed solution was checked to see if it was accurate enough to go on with the experiment. The solution was then filtered using the vacuum filtration technique.…
5. CONCLUSIONS Dry waste prawn shell converted to chitin and chitosan by using 3.5% of NaOH and 1N HCl with the temperature range from 20 oC-120 oC in the process of deprotinized, demineralized , decolourized and deacytilated .CMC was synthesized by carboxymethylation, as some of the –OH group of chitosan were substituted by –CH2COOH groups. Carboxymethyl chitosan was used as an adsorbent for the removal of copper from the wastewater. The removal efficiencies of copper were affected by different parameters such as pH, adsorbent dosage, temperature, contact time, initial metal ion concentration, anion and cation.…
In this lab we took a dull penny from before the year 1970 and changed its color to a shiny gold with the help of chemistry. First, we used a vinegar and salt mixture and scrubbed it onto the penny. This process cleaned all of the dark corrosion spots away and made the copper color shine like new, which then allowed us to have a clean surface to experiment on. This was mostly a physical change but their was a slight chemical reaction because of the acidity of the vinegar. We then heated granular zinc and zinc chloride solution with the penny in a dish on a hot plate until it boiled.…
Alyssa Making Pennies Clean Pennies are shiny when their new, but after time they start to become dull. The one-cent coin was legal tender by the coinage act of 1864 (pennies.org). Abraham Lincoln is on the coin, and was put on the coin in 1909 (pennies.org). The penny was the first U.S. Cent to include the words “in God we trust” (pennies.org). Now how do they become dull and dingy?…
To start this laboratory experiment, we first collected all the materials necessary including multiple beakers, samples of each solution, metal strips, a salt bridge, alligator clips, and an abrasive sponge. Then 10 mL of CuSO4(aq) and 10 mL of ZnSO4(aq) were placed into separate 250 mL beakers. A copper strip was then placed in the beaker containing CuSO4(aq) and a zinc strip was placed into the beaker with ZnSO4(aq). The two beakers were connected by a salt bridge that consisted of a string soaked in 0.5 M KI solution and each end was placed into each solution.…
Moreover, metallic bonds have a simple crystal lattice in solid state and are the weakest primary chemical bonds. Hence the reason to why pure metals are dissolved with other elements such as: carbon for mild steels. Metal alloys have increased strength and hardness. The structure of alloys reduces the space between each ion, so there is less space for delocalized electrons and it improves the chemical bond with each element within the…
This experiments goal was to successfully produce ZnI2 by using Zinc Sulfate (Heptahydrate) and Barium Iodide Dehydrate, which Jessica and I did with acceptable success. The definition of acceptable success for this experiment is measured by how close our percent yield was close to the ranges provided (0-2% being considered excellent precision and etc). Our percent yield was 92 % meaning that it was an acceptable, but not exactly as close to what we wanted it to be. In order to try and figure out what the mistake was that caused us to get 92% we had to evaluate how well we did our experiment. We followed all the instructions as close as possible and double read the step that would come next.…
Stonehouse pond was observed to be igneous rock, with evidence of batholith, an igneous specific type of intrusion that spans for miles at a time. This is evident in figure 8. Various minerals and a grainy texture were also observed. Because of this, and identification of minerals such as quartz, as observed in figure 6, and orthoclase, in figure 9, this rock was concluded to be the igneous rock, granite. Granite forms when magma under the Earth slowly crystallizes.…
Corrosivity chataeristics include aqueous wastes with a pH of less than or equal to 2.Which is geater than the liquid 12.5 on the abilituy of corrode steal. Reacticity charaterisitcs may be unstable to certain enviroments like water,when heated or even normal conditions. During this state it canm react by giving toxic gases if not protected. Toxitiy charaterisitcs are harmful when ingested or absorbed which may be is waste or polluted water sources. If this is relesed is can pentually be…
This element is able to decrease the cooling rate while the steel hardens. In the end, manganese is chemically similar to iron and is an important component of…
In this experiment, solid magnesium was conducted in a chemical reaction with hydrochloric acid solution. The three objectives include: measuring the gas production of a chemical reaction by a pressure change, determining the mass of the hydrogen gas produced in the reaction, and determining the effectiveness of the procedure by calculating the percent yield. In order to complete these objectives, a flask containing the magnesium ribbon was completely submerged into a large beaker filled with water. Next, hydrochloric acid was emptied into the flask using a gas syringe. Then, a Gas Pressure Sensor was used to measure the pressure in the sealed vessel, and a temperature probe was used to measure the temperature of the reaction indirectly by…
Solid yttrium metal does not react with oxygen in the air. However, it reacts very rapidly when in its powdered form. Yttrium powder may react explosively with oxygen at high temperatures.…
Sarah Bounab BQD Experiment 2: Copper/Iron Stoichiometry Abstract: The purpose of the Copper/Iron Stoichiometry lab was to determine which of the two possible iron sulfate compounds formed when reacting aqueous copper(II)sulfate with solid iron metal. The techniques used in this lab were weighing by difference, quantitative transfer, and vacuum filtration. At the end of the experiment it was found that iron was the limiting reactant and iron(II)sulfate was a product of the reaction between 7.0002g of copper(II)sulfate and 2.0101g iron metal which produced 2.3037g of copper product with a percent yield of 100.72%.…
It is a beautiful day in Utah at the Timpanogos Cave National Monument. I have packed a backpack of water, snacks, and a flashlight. After double checking to ensure I have my Cave ticket to tour the inside of the cave, I start the trail. After passing the Visitor’s Center I come to a talus slope.…
It is in all soil and is key to the plants growing in this soil that allows crops to grow. Copper is formed in stars and is key to the formation of stars and elements. This is how copper is an important element to all of mankind.…
