Experiments of Chemistry By: Michelle Woosley
Rules of The Lab • Splash proof googles must be worn at all times! • No food or drinks are allowed in the laboratory. • Cover skin as much as possible; no open-toed shoes allowed. • If you break any glassware inform your instructor immediately. Do not try to pick up the glass yourself. • If a chemical spill occurs inform your instructor immediately. Do not try to clean up the spill, we have a special kit to clean up spills. • At the end of each lab session clean the equipment and lab station for the next student. • ASU policy- NOTHING goes down the drain!! • Ask before you mix anything! One mistake and….
What is a Copper Cycle? • The copper cycle – the process by which copper is processed, combined, and extracted from other compounds in order to recover pure copper. • Materials: • Copper Wire • 6 M HNO3 (aq) (Nitric Acid)* • 6 M NaOH (aq) (Sodium Hydroxide)* • 2 M H2SO4 (aq) (Sulfuric Acid)* • 3 M HCl (aq) (Hydrochloric Acid)* • Zinc* • Acetone • Filter Paper • 250mL Beaker • Flask • Filter Flask • Büchner funnel • Vacuum Valve • Triple Beam Scale *Amount to be determined- The amount will be determine later using stoichiometry using the mole to mole ratios of each equation.
Procedure • Obtain 0.500g of copper wire weigh on a triple beam scale and placed in the bottom of a flask. • Use mole to mole conversion to determine amount of 6 M HNO3 (aq) and 6 M NaOH (aq). • Use gram to gram conversion to determine amount of 2M H2SO4 (aq) and zinc. • Pour 6 M HNO3 (aq) into the flask under a fume hood • After reaction takes place the reaction will be a light blue liquid and form Cu(NO3)2 (aq). • Place flask into ice bath, slowly add 6 M NaOH (aq) • Add Cu(NO3)2 (aq) until a solid forms at the bottom of the flask forming Cu(OH)2 (s). • Set up a filtration system , allow filtered solid to dry. Weigh solid and place solid back into flask.
Procedure • Pour 2 M H2SO4 (aq) into flask. Swirl flask until solid dissolves forming Cu2(SO)4(aq). • Weigh out zinc on a triple beam scale and add to flask. Caution! Adding zinc will cause solution to be warm to the touch and bubble. Be cautious when handling! • Add 3 M HCl (aq) into the flask and swirl the flask. Repeat until solution is a transparent colorless solution. • Using the filtration system filter the solution and a solid should form. • Allow the solid to dry and rinse solid with acetone to remove any impurities. • Remove solid and place on a filter paper and weigh your solid on a triple beam scale. • Observe your solid, if any black copper is present remove it and reweigh your solid. • Use the percent yield equation to determine the amount of copper you recovered. • To see an example of the copper cycle lab go to: What is a Copper Cycle?
