Density Of Copper Lab

Decent Essays
This Density of Copper lab was an experiment, which helped to show how to calculate the density of copper while comparing the results of the density of water. While doing this experiment we had to remember the density of water, which is 1g/cm3. However, before trying to find the density we needed to make sure we had the mass and volume. We were given two ways to help find the density of copper and a beaker. I had to first measure the mass of the copper by picking it up and gently placing it in the analytical balance. Which then you’re given the mass, which you right down in your lab notebook. Then place around 10mL of water into the beaker and careful slide/ drop the cylinder copper inside the beaker to find the water displacement. And as the

    The densities of 3 different solutions, water, saltwater, and an unknown solution, were calculated using a triple beam balance and a graduated cylinder. Density was also used to discover how much zinc and copper are found in a penny. The following results were found: water’s density, 1.02 g mL-1; saltwater’s density, 1.05 g mL-1; and the unknown substance labeled two’s density, 1.04 g mL-1. The percent error was calculated for water’s density as 2%. The composition of a penny was calculated using volume by water displacement and the mass of the pennies.…

    When beginning the experiment we observed and recorded the appearance of the materials in use like instructed. We weighed our materials out on a tared scale and placed them all in their corresponding test tube. We mixed and centrifuged our solution all three times for the appropriate times and decanted them accordingly. After getting all our liquid we heated up until a white solid formed, waited for it cool…

    Introduction An experiment was generated in the lab to enhance the understanding on taking the percent composition and formulating the empirical formula of a hydrate. In chemistry, hydrates are compounds which absorb water molecules and incorporate them as part of a structure. The hydrate in this experiment was an inorganic hydrate, meaning the bonds between water molecules were inadequate (What is a hydrate? (n.d.)).…

    Percent Copper In Brass Lab Conclusion Emily Oleisky The purpose of this lab was to observe the amount of light a solution absorbs, and use the relationships in the Beer-Lambert Law to determine the quantity of a certain compound within a complex sample. First, the relationships between wavelength, concentration, and absorbance were determined. This lab focused on identifying the absorption of copper in various brass samples, and finding the percent copper in brass. In the first activity of the lab, the scientist was trying to determine the difference in molar absorptivity across various wavelengths of multiple salt solutions.…

    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%.…
