(II) sulfate a reaction will occur, resulting in a precipitation. The prediction about the copper (II) sulfate and copper is that nothing will happen. Hypothesis It is hypothesised that when zinc is placed in aqueous copper (II) sulfate, a single displacement reaction will occur as the zinc is in its elementary form. Because it has a higher reactivity, it will probably displace the copper from copper (II) sulfate and a precipitation will be present. It is hypothesised that no reaction will…
Introduction The reaction of Hydro Chloric Acid with Aluminum is exothermic and very dynamic. The Hydrogen produced at such temperatures can easily explode by combining with the oxygen of the atmosphere. This reaction is known as a single displacement reaction because aluminum switches with the hydrogen. When aluminum is placed in a beaker of hydrochloric acid, the reaction produces hydrogen gas and aqueous aluminum chloride. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is 2Al + 6HCl =…
October 2016 Chemistry Technical Abstract: The Copper Cycle Steven Joseph*, Christian Contreras Introduction: This experiment consisted of studying the copper cycle. Along with its overall significance to biological systems, reactions were done in order to test the types of reaction types associated with copper. In addition, vacuum filtration methods and detailed observations were taken on how copper reacts with different chemicals as it is constantly heated and mixed. Towards the end of the…
elements found in nature all over the world because it can be chemically reacted with many other elements and compounds. The purpose of this experiment was to identify the different reactions that occurred through the lab and the different types of reactions. Throughout the lab, copper was put through series of reactions to see the different combinations and how its properties were affected. Materials and Method: The first part of this lab was to set up the apparatus to properly execute this…
3: Text Chemical reaction is the changing of substances to other substances by the breaking of bonds in reactants and the formation of new bonds in products. There are many different types of reactions. Many reactions can be assigned to more than one classification. The same reaction can be classified in different ways. It is important and useful to know all the different types of reactions because they often refer the reactions as being of one type or another. The first reaction is Acid-base…
The purpose of this experiment was to see how single-replacement reactions change the physical matter of the original reactants. Hypothetically, the use of 2.120g of CuCl2 should react with the iron nails forming exactly 1 gram of copper. Upon starting the lab process, there was a displacement of 2.120 grams of CuCl2 into the plastic cup containing 50 ml DI water before joining the two iron nails. After the solution sat overnight, the iron nails became black in exterior color, orange copper…
resulting from reactions with chemicals in its environment. The oxygen oxidizes with the metal, and the sodium help speed up the corrosion process. The presence of oxygen and electrolytes (Sodium – Na) in sample number 2 make it more…
Cu Again: Reactions of Copper Lynna Jezek*, Long Nguyen CHEM 111-502 Introduction: The element copper has proven to be of great use to human civilizations through time; from the first bronze smelted by the Sumerians to copper’s practicality in today’s industry-driven world, copper has become essential to human life. Copper’s use in industry (such as its great conductivity of heat and electricity) has driven many scientists to study the Copper Cycle, or how copper behaves as a response to…
In forensics, there is a lot of chemistry involved. The various processes that a forensic procedure requires includes basic skills and knowledge from chemistry. Since chemistry and forensics are so closely related, many of the same concepts are used in each field. That is why it is important to go into more detail to see what type of chemistry has to deal with this. It is very rare that there is a forensics specialist investigating a crime scene without there being any type of chemistry…
even economically, and each of its many forms has unique characteristics that serve many different purposes. In this experiment, chemical reactions were conducted on copper that represented its reactivity in different chemical environments. Therefore, the purpose of this experiment was to explore the copper cycle through the identification of different reaction types that occurred in it and that eventually lead up to the regeneration of the original product. Materials and Methods The…
