How Does the Concentration of Copper II Sulphate Solution Affect Its Transparency?
Background information
Copper is a transition metal and one unique property of transition metals is to create different types colored compounds . Copper(II) sulfate, also known as cupric sulfate or copper sulphate, is the chemical compound with the chemical formula CuSO4. Existing as a gray white powered in anhydrous form however more commonly encountered salt in the laboratory is pentahydrate or (CuSO4·5H2O ) is bright blue in powdered form . In my experiment I used this bright blue powder by dissolving the powder in water leading to a exothermic reaction the exothermic reaction to create an aquo complex [Cu(H2O)6]2 .
Hypothesis
In this experiment concentration of the copper II Sulphate solution is being varied to determine its effect on transparency. These concentrations will be made from dilutions of 1 mole copper II Sulphate solution provided. When this occurs the transparency can be recorded by the calorimeter that will in fact showcase how the dilution o...
In our experiment we utilized the hydrate cobaltous chloride. Hydrates are crystalline compounds in which one or more molecules of water are combined with each unit of a salt. Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate is an inorganic compound which is a deep rose color in its hydrated form. As an inducer of
The color that was chose to be shined through the sample was purple. The spectrophotometer was set at a wavelength of 400nm to represent the purple color. It was zeroed using the blank meaning the spectrophotometer read zero as absorbance amount. The blank consisted of 5mL of water and 2.5 mL AVM and it was placed in cuvette. A solution with a known concentration of 2.0x10-4 M was used in the spectrometer. For this solution, 5 mL of the solution with 2.5 mL of AMV was placed in the cuvette. The cuvette was placed inside of spectrophotometer and the amount of absorbance was recorded. This procedure that involves a solution with a known concentration was repeated for the concentrations:1.0x10-4 M,5.0x10-5 M,2.0x10-5M, and1.0x10-5M.A unknown solution absorbance was measured by putting 5 mL of unknown solution with 2.5 mL AMV in a cuvette. The cuvette was placed in the spectrophotometer and the amount of absorbance was recorded. The procedure that deals with the unknown solution was repeated 2 more times with the same solution and the same amount of solution and AMV. The average of the three unknown solution was calculated and the concentration of the unknown solution was
... samples before the incubation of 108 seconds. Then the 100 µL of colour reagent was put to the sample, merged and incubated for further 10 minutes. The absorbance at 615nm and 700nm wavelengths was calculated on the samples in the Cobas analyser and the sample concentration was measure according to :
The purpose of this lab was to to cycle solid copper through a series of chemical forms and return it to its original form. A specific quantity of copper undergo many types of reactions and went through its whole cycle, then returned to its solid copper to be weighted. We observed 5 chemical reactions involving copper which are: Redox reaction (which includes all chemical reactions in which atoms have their oxidation state changed), double displacement reaction, precipitation reaction, decomposition reaction, and single displacement reaction.
The purpose of this lab is to determine the empirical formula of copper oxide (CuxOy) through a single-displacement reaction that extracts the copper (Cu) from the original compound. In order to do this, hydrochloric acid (HCl) was mixed in with solid CuxOy; the mixture was stirred until the CuxOy was totally dissolved in the solvent. Zinc (Zn) was then added to the solution as a way to enact a single displacement reaction in which Cu begin to form on the Zn; the Cu gets knocked off the Zn through gentle stirring. To isolate the Cu, the supernatant liquid was decanted and the Cu was then washed with first water then second, isopropyl alcohol. Once done, the hydrated Cu is transferred onto an evaporating dish where it was heated multiple times
If heat is applied to Copper (Ⅱ) sulfate pentahydrate, then the experimental form will be equivalent to the theoretical formula. Important key data that will be needed to achieve the goal of the lab experiments includes the initial mass of hydrated crystal, the final mass of anhydrous crystal, the
Volume's Effect on a Copper Sulphate Solution We are trying to find out if the current though a copper sulphate solutions volume is increased. To find this information out I shall perform an experiment using the following equipment; · 1 power pack · 1 beaker · 2 carbon rods for anode and cathode · 1 ammeter · 1 measuring cylinder · 2 crocodile clip wirers I shall also be using 60cm3 volume of copper sulphate in my preliminary results to decide upon the concentration of copper sulphate and the voltage I shall use. The following diagrams show the step by step process in which I will do my experiment; [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE] I will take 10 readings from 10cm3 to 100cm3. I will repeat my experiment to give my experiment a fair average. I will keep the power pack the beaker the carbon rods the crocodile clips the ammeter the concentration of copper sulphate and the measuring cylinder the same each time I do the experiment this experiment.
We were stirring the solution every five minutes using stirring rod. After a while the color of the solution turned blue and the fine needles of solid silver crystals begin to form in the beaker bottom. we used the witting time to weight a piece of filter paper which is 1.1740 g at balance number 5 and to prepare the funnel and the filter paper for filtrate. Then, we put a clean 250 ml beaker under the steam of the funnel to catch the filtrate. Fifth, we removed the coper wire from the blue copper nitrate solution at 12:10 by using tweezer because the solution can stain our skin. The next thing that we did is to wash the wire with distilled water to get the silver off the wire and we cleaned with a paper toweling to make sur the wire is completely clean. And then we reweighted the wire which is 1.8824g in balance number 5. Sixth, we filtered the blue solution of copper nitrate and any unreacted silver nitrate through the funnel. Then we washed the ramming bits of silver from the beaker into the funnel by using a small stream of distilled water. Also, after that we washed the filter paper and silver with three small portion of acetone. In this step, we had to wear goggles because of the
The expected moss of anhydrous copper (II) sulfate should have been .834g instead of .694g. The water lost through the heating should have been .471g instead of the .694g that was actually lost. The water lost was much larger while the mass of the anhydrous copper (II) sulfate was much smaller. If the mass of the water lost was too low than something that could have caused this is that the hydrated copper (II) sulfate was not heated correctly. Not all of the water would have been evaporated if the crucible was taken off the Bunsen burner to soon. If the mass of water lost was too large than something that could have caused this is the loss of copper (II) sulfate during the experiment. This could have occurred through the mixing of the hydrated copper (II) sulfate while it was burning on the Bunsen burner.
The molar absorption coefficient can be found in an absorption spectrum. The absorption spectra is generate...
A cuvette was filled 3/ 4ths of the way and the absorbance measured in a spectrophotometer. The data was compiled as a class and recorded. The Spectrophotometer was blanked using a test tube of distilled water.
