The lab started off by measuring critical materials for the lab: the mass of an an empty 100 mL beaker, mass of beaker and copper chloride together(52.30 g), and the mass of three iron nails(2.73 g). The goal of this experiment is to determine the number of moles of copper and iron that would be produced in the reaction of iron and copper(II) chloride, the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper, and the percent yield of copper produced. 2.00 grams of copper(II) chloride was added in the beaker to mix with 15 mL of distilled water. Then, three dry nails are placed in the copper(II) chloride solution for approximately 25 minutes. The three nails have to be scraped clean by sandpaper to make the surface of the nail shiny; if the nails are not clean, then some unknown substances might accidentally mix into the reaction and cause variations of the result. This is important because the correct reaction would only appear if the right elements are mixed together, the unknown substances on the iron nails can cause a different reaction to happen that is not expected. …show more content…

After a while, a brownish color substance started to form on the three iron nails. We predicted that the brown substance on the nails is copper because the reaction of copper(II) chloride with iron is a single displacement reaction, so copper would be produced. 0.48 grams of iron was used in the reaction because 2.73 grams subtracted by 2.25 grams is 0.48 grams. The 0.48 grams of iron had to be used in the reaction with copper(II) chloride in order to produce copper, according to the reaction equation: CuCl2+FeFeCl2+Cu. 0.52 grams of copper was produced after pouring out the copper(II) chloride solution and the three iron

    An error that could have been present during the lab includes not letting the zinc react completely with the chloride ions by removing the penny too early from the solution. For instance, the percent error of this lab was 45.6%, which was determined by the subtraction of the theoretical percent of Cu 2.5% and the experimental percent of Cu 3.64% and dividing by the theoretical percent of Cu 2.5%. This experiment showed how reactants react with one another in a solution to drive a chemical reaction and the products that result from the

    Group 1: All the elements that were tested from group 1 had a pH level of 12. This meant that all the tested elements produce an alkaline solution. Group one elements readily lose their valence electron as they wish to form a full valence shell this gives them all a low electron affinity. The group one elements have different electronegativity going down the group. Electronegativity of the elements decreases with the increasing the atomic radii.

    Throughout the experiment, copper was altered a total of 5 times, but after the final chemical reaction, solid, elemental copper returned. Each time the solution changed color, a precipitate formed, or when gas appeared, indicated that a chemical reaction was occurring. For the first reaction, copper was added to nitric acid, forming the aqueous copper (II) nitrate (where the copper went), along with liquid water, and

  • Empirical Formula Of Copper Chloride Lab Report

    As soon as the wire was submerged into the solution, the aluminum atoms and the copper (II) ions underwent a reduction-oxidation (redox) reaction, meaning aluminum was oxidized and donated its electrons to the copper ions, which were reduced. As a result, solid copper began to form on the surface of the aluminum wire, giving the wire a brown-orange color that resembled rust. The wire had to be regularly shaken in order to remove the solid copper particles and thereby expose more of the aluminum wire to react with the surrounding solution. As the reaction progressed, the liquid copper chloride solution slowly began to lose its color and turn clear. This was a chemical reaction, as seen by the bubbles formed with the wire was added, meaning gas was released when aluminum was oxidized and copper was reduced, but it also gave rise to physical changes, such as the change in color of the solution from blue-green to rusty orange to clear.

Then we were to classify each type of solid as either ionic, metallic, non-polar molecular, polar molecular, or network. Paraffin wax classified as a non-polar molecular, Silicon dioxide was classifies as a network, Sodium chloride was classified as ionic, Sucrose was classified as polar molecular and Tin was classified as metallic. (2)The intermolecular forces that are present in Paraffin wax are dispersion forces, because it is non-polar and carries a negative charge. Followed by Sucrose that has

    Therefore, as HCl was added, a shift occurred. Additionally, the equilibrium for the reaction was determined to be 92. After iron (III) thiocyanate was formed and separated into four separate test tubes, one control and three with additional components, shifts had occurred in each of the three experimental test tubes. When 0.02 M Fe(NO3)3 was added, the solution changed from a reddish-orange color to a deep, dark red indicating a shift to the right or to the products, while 0.02 M NaSCN was added to another test tube, it simply became about one shade lighter but should have

In order to accurately digest the experiments results, research of definitions of each relating led to the following information: ionic compounds are positive and negatively charged ions that experience attraction to each other and pull together in a cluster of ionic bonds; they are the strongest compound, are separated in high temperatures, and can be separated by polar water molecules. A covalent compound forms when two or more nonmetal atoms share valence electrons; covalent compounds are also
