Decomposition Of Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Lab Report
Decomposition of copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4●5H2O) Introduction: By now, you are aware that scientists apply heat to substances in order to decompose them. In this lab, you will apply heat to make copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4●5H2O) undergo a decomposition reaction. You will make observations and will have to make an educated claim about the products of the decomposition reaction. Furthermore, you will have to use your observations as evidence and will have to discuss your reasoning about why your observations support your claim. 1. Use a spatula to scoop and place 2 crystals of CuSO4●5H2O into a test tube. 2. Describe the crystals. 3. Light a Bunsen burner. 4. Use a test tube clamp to hold the test tube and to hover it over the flame. This will increase the temperature of the crystals and will result in a decomposition reaction. 5. …show more content…
Describe the reaction. a. Observations: 6. Allow the product of the reaction to cool down for about a minute. 7. Use a pipette to add 2 of drops of water into test tube. a. Describe the reaction (describe your observations). 8. Pour the mixture into the waste container. 9. Fill out the claim-evidence-reasoning chart (at the back of this handout) answering the following question: a. What are the products of the decomposition of CuSO4●5H2O? b. What is a possible chemical equation for the decomposition reaction? 10. Be ready to discuss your claim with the class, and to write down the correct products for the decomposition of CuSO4●5H2O.

Chem 100 Final Lab Report
1366 Words | 6 PagesDeductive reasoning was used by determining the identity of an unknown copper mineral by looking at different possible copper minerals in the database with observations that were taken throughout the entire lab. Through roasting, the percentage of mass could be found through the mass of copper contained in an unknown copper containing mineral sample by gravimetric analysis of the copper (II) oxide produced. Through the idea of smelting and spectroscopy the identity of the unknown copper could be found through careful calculations and analysis of the lab.
Why Is Litmus Paper Is Used To Identify Metal Ions
1204 Words | 5 Pageseach paper remained it's original color, thus concluding that the unknown was neutral. These results also led the students to believe the unknown was CaCl2 since it was listed in the neutral column. After the litmus test was conducted the students added a few drops of Na3PO4 to the unknown. When these two were combined a precipitate was formed. This final test on unknown F verified that it was CaCl2.

1724 Words | 7 PagesIdentifying reaction types and calculating percent yield after multiple chemical reactions of copper metal *Ashlyn Langner and Katherine Rumfield Chemistry 111 Section 524 Introduction A topic of interest in science is the evaluation of the law of conservation of matter through different types of chemical reactions and determining the percent yield resulting from these reactions. This law states that after a chemical reaction, matter should neither be created nor destroyed. This experiment allows for this law to be tested and for the determination of different errors that may occur during chemical reactions similar to this one. The magnitude of these errors can be found through the percent yield calculated by using the original mass of

To start this experiment, start with the flame test by gathering a Bunsen burner and a Nichrome wire. Connect the Bunsen burner with a rubber tube to a laboratory gas. To prepare solutions for the flame test, weigh out 0.205 gram of Unknown Compound using an analytical balance and mixed it into a 140 mL beaker filled with 20 mL ionized water. Ensure that solid is completely dissolved using a stirring rod.
