Document Summary

Chem1000h lab report 2: raw data: Mass of empty container (for weighing the copper): 51. 0432. Mass of empty container (for weighing zinc): 29. 6068. Mass of watch glass + filter paper: 40. 7582. Mass of watch glass + filter paper + final recovered cu product: 41. 1792: fill in the table for each of the reaction steps. When hno3 was added to copper an automatic change in color to a clear green occurred and a brown gas formed (nitrogen gas) as well as heat was given off (exothermic). When transferred to beaker, the de-ionized water was added and the color then changed to a light clear blue. When naoh was added, cloudy blue/dark blue substance formed. After heating beaker, black copper oxide (more dense) and water was left. When h2so4 was added, the substance mixed and became light blue again once. D it dissolved and dripped down into the beaker. Zinc was then added to the light blue solution.

Questions are in the data analysis and this is my data

3. After setting up we measured the crucible to weigh 31.353 grams

4. next we measure the mass of the copper chloride hydrate mass using the weigh paper. It came out with a mass of 1.045grams.

Next we put the copper chloride in the crucible

After that we measured them all together and it weighed 32.4 grams.

5. We put the crucible on the clay triangle and did not tilt the lid be cause lab instructor told us not to

6. Next we sparked the flame to the Bunsen burner

7. Now with the Bunsen burner lit we are ready to observe. As the substance started to heat it up it started slowly to turn greenish and then was slowly turning brown. It is turning brown from the outside walls of the substance to the inside. After all the heating it slowly turned a little light brown, but brown.

8. Once heating is completed, turn off the equipment and allow the sample to cool.

a. Turn off the Bunsen burner.

b. Use a pair of crucible tongs to place the crucible on a wire mesh screen on the

bench.

c. With the tongs, move the lid so that it covers the crucible bottom completely.

Allow the sample to cool for about ten minutes.

9. Remove the crucible cover and carefully inspect the sample. If any of the sample has

maintained its initial appearance, reheat the sample until all of it has reacted.

10. After we allowed the sample to cool we then measured it and it had a mass of 32.222 g

11. next we are adding the deionized water to the cooled dried sample. We rinsed out the crucible and added it to the beaker with around a total of 16mL of DI water. Once initially added it was green on the bottom with precipitate was left on the bottom and blue on the top. After we stirred it now it is light blue and clear. It is just really light blue now and clear.

12. we obtained a piece of aluminum wire we coiled it and stirred it. Its turning from blue to greyish color and its fizzing and it getting warmer. After a little bit there is now copper on the bottom of the beaker. They are redish color and the solution on top is also a redish color.

13. we obtained 10mL of 6 M HCl solution. Next we dropped them in and the solution is fizzing again.

14. we put the filter paper on the filter paper and are now filtering the substance.

15. mass of dry watch glass 39.025 grams

16. 39.278 grams and second time was 39.274

Procedure Reaction 1: Dissolving the Copper 1. Obtain a clean, dry, glass centrifuge tube. 2. Place a piece of copper wire in a weighing paper, determine the mass of the wire and place it in the centrifuge tube. The copper wire should weigh less than 0.0200 grams. 3. In a fume hood, add seven drops of concentrated nitric acid to the reaction tube so that the copper metal dissolves completely. Describe your observations in the lab report. (Caution, Concentrated nitric acid and nitrogen dioxide are very corrosive. Either will turn your skin yellow on contact. Do not leave any spills on the lab bench or in the fume hood.) 4. When the copper has dissolved, add seven drops of distilled water to the tube. Reaction 2: Preparation of Copper(II) Hydroxide 1. Add 15 drops of 3.0 M aqueous sodium hydroxide to the tube. Make sure that the reactants are well mixed. Shake the tube carefully or gently flick the bottom of the tube with your finger. Remember that the contents of the tube may still be corrosive. 2. Add a second 15 drops of NaOH(aq), mix well, and record your observations. If you have two layers at this point it means that you have not mixed the solution well enough. 3. Centrifuge the reaction mixture. 4. The liquid at the top of the centrifuged mixture is called the supernatant while the solid is called a precipitate. Before separating the supernatant from the precipitate it is necessary to ensure that all of the copper(II) hydroxide has been precipitated. The supernatant should be clear and colorless indicating the absence of any Cu+2 ions in the solution. It should also be basic due to an excess of OH- ions. Using a clean glass stirring rod, transfer a drop of the supernatant onto a piece of red litmus paper. If the litmus paper turns blue then the solution is basic and enough NaOH has been added. If the paper does not turn blue, add more NaOH, mix well, recentrifuge, and repeat the litmus paper test until the paper does turn blue. 5. An efficient separation of supernatants and precipitates is key to obtaining a good final yield of copper. The supernatant liquid can be separated from the precipitate by expelling the air from the bulb of a Pasteur pipet, inserting the tip of the pipet into the supernatant, then gently sucking the supernatant into the pipet. If you expel air or liquid into the precipitate with the pipet, you will stir up the precipitate and will have to repeat the centrifugation step. Remove as much liquid as possible and discard it in the waste container provided on the instructorâs cart. It is better to leave a small amount of supernatant liquid than to remove some of the copper(II) hydroxide precipitate. Reaction 3: Formation of Copper(II) Oxide 1. Set up a hot water bath by placing a beaker of water on a hotplate, placing an iron ring around the beaker, and heating the water to boiling. 2. Place the centrifuge tube containing the copper(II) hydroxide into the boiling water. Carefully hold the tube with a test tube clamp so that it doesnât get water into it. Record your observations. Reaction 4: Formation of Copper(II) Sulfate 1. Add 20 drops of 3.0 M H2SO4 to the solid in the centrifuge tube. Stir carefully to ensure that the copper(II) oxide dissolves completely. Complete dissolution of the mixture will require thorough mixing and possibly heating of the solution. 2. Obtain the mass of a small, clean, glass test tube as accurately as possible. 3. Transfer the liquid from the centrifuge tube into the test tube. Rinse the centrifuge carefully with 1.0 mL of distilled water and transfer the rinse into the test tube containing your sample. 4. Record your observations on the data sheet. Reaction 5: Formation of Copper Metal 1. Add a small quantity of zinc powder to the sample solution. Continue adding zinc in small quantities until the solution loses the blue copper(II) color. Any excess zinc added will need to be removed so donât add it too quickly or in large quantities. When the solution has turned colorless, add several drops of 3.0 M H2SO4 to the tube to dissolve any left over zinc. You can tell that the zinc has dissolved when addition of sulfuric acid does not generate bubbles. 2. Allow the copper metal to sink to the bottom of the tube and carefully remove the supernatant liquid using a Pasteur pipet. 3. Wash the red-brown copper metal in the tube with 1.0 mL of water. Allow the copper metal to settle to the bottom and remove the excess water. Repeat this rinsing process two more times. 4. Describe your observations on the data sheet. Drying the copper metal 1. After removing as much of the third rinse water as possible you are ready to dry the metal. This must be done carefully in a cool Bunsen Burner flame. If the tube is heated too quickly there is a risk of ejecting the contents of the tube as the water boils. Also, if the flame is too hot you may convert the copper metal back into black copper(II) oxide. The objective is to drive the water from the tube as steam. Make sure that as water condenses on the walls of the tube that you continue to heat until all of the water if gone from the tube. 2. Once all of the water is removed from the tube, cool the tube and its contents then determine the mass of copper by weighing the tube and subtracting the tube + copper weight from the weight of the empty tube (Reaction 4 step 2). If the mass of copper is higher than the original mass of the copper wire it either contains water or zinc or has been converted to copper(II) oxide. Excess water can be removed by reheating the tube and reweighing to constant mass. Excess zinc requires addition of sulfuric acid followed by re-rinsing with water and re-drying.

Chemistry 1215, Experiment #9; Copper and its compounds, Pre-lab Name ____________________________________ 1. Write a balanced chemical equation including phase labels for the reaction between aqueous copper (II) nitrate and aqueous sodium hydroxide. 2. Nitrogen monoxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) are toxic, corrosive gases that significantly lower blood pressure when inhaled. How are these gases produced in todayâs experiment? What should you do to protect yourself against their toxicity? 3. Iron reacts with oxygen from the atmosphere to produce iron (III) oxide, also known as rust (Fe2O3). What chemical species is oxidized in this reaction? What is the reducing agent? Jaffrey Zagnut couldnât find any nitric acid so he tried to dissolve his copper sample in hydrochloric acid instead. Unfortunately his copper wouldnât dissolve in HCl. Why will copper dissolve in nitric acid but not in hydrochloric acid (after all, HCl is a stronger acid than HNO3). Chemistry 1215, Experiment #9; Copper and its compounds, Post-lab Name ____________________________________ 1. Copper (II) hydroxide is converted into copper (II) oxide by heating the test tube containing Cu(OH)2 in a hot water bath. Is it necessary to use distilled water in this water bath? Why or why not? 2. Copper metal doesnât ârustâ in the presence of oxygen at room temperature. However, it will react with O2 at elevated temperatures. Write a balanced chemical equation describing the formation of copper (II) oxide when copper metal is heated in air. 3. When zinc is dissolved in sulfuric acid a gas is produced. What is the chemical identity of this gas? How is it produced? 4. Jaffrey Zagnut started with a 0.032 g sample of copper which he took through the series of reactions described in this experiment. At the end of the experiment he obtained 0.038 g of a black product. What was his percent yield? What is the most likely source of the error in his experiment? (Hint: consider question 2 above)
