Silver Nitrate Synthesis Lab Report

The purpose of the experiment is to cycle solid copper through a series of five reactions. At different stages of the cycle, copper was present in different forms. First reaction involves reaction between the copper and nitric acid, and copper changed from elemental state to an aqueous. The second reaction converted the aqueous Cu2+ into the solid copper (2) hydroxide. In the third reaction Cu(OH)2 decomposed into copper 2 oxide and water when heated. When solid CuO reacted with sulfuric acid, the copper returned to solution as an ion (Cu2+). The cycle of reactions was completed with the reaction where elemental copper was regenerated by Zn and Cu

solutions using qualitative analysis techniques. 1 Silver (Ag + ) and lead (Pb 2+ ) created a solution of

The Cu Later lab experiment is designed to allow you to practice lab skills in implementing and performing a series of reactions. Specifically, four types of chemical reactions will occur: oxidation/reduction; double replacement; single replacement; and decomposition. You will begin with a known amount of copper metal, which, after progressing through several steps, is reproduced. In this experiment you will observe and record the various changes such as heat, color changes, and production that occur. This procedure is used to observe some chemical reactions of copper and its compounds while also performing the lab appropriately as to retain the copper as much as

The purpose of this lab was to determine the limiting reactant in a reaction between copper sulfate and iron. Using the reaction between copper sulfate and iron, the reaction was observed to see the reaction and transformation of matter. The copper sulfate was placed into a beaker, as the excess reactant, then iron filings added until the heated solution was completely reacted. This reaction created an excess of leftover. The law of conservation of mass can be observed in this reaction, and using the data found, the percent yield calculated.

Heavy precipitate emerged immediately and solution turned white in color; solution then became opaque and turned light, bright blue in color.

The purpose of the lab copper- silver nitrate reaction is to find the mole relationships between reactants and products. My hypothesis was that the mole relationship between silver and copper will be 2 mol Cu: 1 mol Ag ratio. My hypothesis is supported by the data I found during the lab. First evidence, in the beginning of my calculation I have to determine the mass of copper that reacted during the experiment and converted to moles of copper and got .0033 moles of Cu. Next, I determined the mass of silver produced during the experiment and converted into moles of silver and got .0063 moles of Ag. After I found the moles of copper and silver, I determined the value of the ratio of .0063 moles Ag /.0033 moles Cu and got 1.90 moles. 1.90 mol

Strontium nitrate, the limiting reagent, was poured into the copper(II) sulphate solution, the excess reagent, rather than the other way around. This is a minor systemic error, because even if some of the strontium nitrate remained in its initial beaker, the beaker was thoroughly rinsed out multiple times. The error causes the final mass of the filter paper and precipitate to be slightly decreased, as not all of strontium nitrate reacts with the copper(II) sulfate. This can explain why the percent yield in 92.2%.

-If the copper metal is submerged in the silver nitrate solution then in reaction, a pure, solid (Ag) silver product is created with an excess of (Cu (NO3)2) copper (II) aqueous liquid because a single displacement reaction occurs where the balance equation is then

The Copper Cycle is a popular experiment used to determine if an element, in this instance, copper, reverts to its elemental form after a chain of reactions. This experiment is very dangerous because of the reactions between the strong acids and bases. In this experiment I performed a series of reactions starting with copper metal and nitric acid to form copper (II) nitrate. Then I reacted copper and several other solutions such as, sodium hydroxide, sulfuric acid, ammonium hydroxide, and hydrochloric acid to form precipitates. In conclusion my percent recovery

Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to observe the many physical and chemical properties of copper as it undergoes a series of chemical reactions. Throughout this process, one would also need to acknowledge that even though the law of conservation of matter/mass suggests that one should expect to recover the same amount of copper as one started with, inevitable sources of error alter the results and produce different outcomes. The possible sources of error that led to a gain or loss in copper are demonstrated in the calculation of percent yield (percent yield= (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100.

Percent yield is determined by calculating the theoretical and actual masses. The theoretical yield is the expected or maximum amount of product you should see in a reaction8. Ideally, the percent yield should be one hundred. The results of the percent yield calculations are indicated in Table 5. For the two detergents, the percent yields were lower than one hundred.

It is also possible for enhancements to turn yellow after a while if the liquid and power used is quite

This liquid is clear, has a fluid consistency similar to water, and has a strong odour that reminds me of alcohol.

The main purpose of this experiment was to show that single displacement reactions between metals according to their reactivity, with more reactive elements having the power to displace less reactive elements and take their place in a chemical compound (Beran, 2014). This was supported by the results of the experiment, where solid metals were combined with aqueous solutions that contained another element, and reactions only took place when the solid metal was more reactive than the other element in the compound. Only three attempted trials resulted in a failure to produce a reaction, namely the combinations of copper with hydrochloric acid, and copper with nickel sulfate. The outcomes of these trials are justifiably reasonable because copper is ranked lower in the

Nickel is a transient metal with melting temperature of 1455C under atmosphere. So the initiated growing temperature was 1000C with the mixed gases of argon, hydrogen and methane. Argon was served as the buffer gas, which created an inert environment, hydrogen helped in the annealing process, and methane was served as the carbon sources. For using nickel as the catalyst for synthesis graphene, different parameters used will yield graphene with different number of layers and different quality. The carbon atoms solubility on nickel is 0.6% weight around melting point compared to copper, which is 0.008% weight around its melting point.[77]
