Abstract: The purpose of this lab report is to document what happened to the copper when placed through of series of varying reactions. Reacting copper with varying substances enables a person to enhance their stoichiometry solving abilities and well as differentiate chemical reactions and write balanced equation. The lab was done over the course of five days, with each day catalyzing a new reaction. This resulted in enabling the ability of stoichiometry solving abilities to come easier and quickly identify a reaction, and correctly ending with almost the same of amount of copper at the start of the lab. As a result, we can apply this to the following labs to come. Introduction: The purpose of this lab is to have the ability to observe what occurs during a chemical reaction, as well as being able to write the correct balanced equation for each reaction. While using stoichiometry concepts to also identify the four varying types of common chemical reactions. The four common chemical reactions include synthesis, which when two chemical components unite and become one component. Decomposition, one component becomes divided and Using the electronic balance given, mass the copper wire and record it in the data table. Put the copper into a 150 mL beaker. When placed in the beaker, the Copper needs to be smashed down flat. Place the beaker with the Copper in it, in the fume hood. Proceed to carefully add 12 mL of concentrated Nitric acid ( HNO3 ) into the
