Chemical Reaction of copper compounds
Introduction:
In this experiment, the objective was to conduct a series of chemical reactions that contain copper or copper compounds. That is to say that the products of each chemical reaction were used in the next reaction. The process starts with a solid copper wire dissolved in nitric acid and the end product is copper powder. The product which was used from the previous reaction is the limiting. In the initial step, the solid copper is the limiting reactant. For this experiment, the materials that will be used are copper wire, aluminum wire, six molar nitric acid, sodium hydroxide, six molar hydrochloric acid, a vacuum filtration apparatus, and ice.
Experimental Procedures:
1. First the copper wire that is twenty four gauge must be cut to approximately 40 cm. Take steel wool and scrape of all impurities off the wire to get pure copper, and weigh. Acquire a two hundred fifty milliliter beaker and put the copper wire in the beaker.......
