Compare And Contrast The Separation Of Copper Chloride And Sodium Chloride Mixture

The process of filtration can be used seeing as the copper particles will be caught by the filter because they are too large to pass through it, while the aluminum chloride particles are small enough to pass through the filter. In order to filter the products, one needs to obtain a funnel, filter paper, and a clean

To separate the Ramos mixture the group first first conducted the dissolve, filter, evaporate method, and prepared the lab for as well. Though for this lab the substance

The appearance after this period resulted in another color change back to white. The crucible, lid, and hydrated copper sulfate was weighed again to calculate the mass of water lost by dehydration (described in table 1.3). This was done by subtracting the final mass by the initial mass of the crucible, lid, and compound. The mass of the crucible would remain unchanged while the mass of the compound would be altered. This trial was repeated 3 times and 1 extra set of data was taken from 2 separate groups to include

The heating of the solution caused the reaction to start which decomposed Cu(OH)2 and made the solution colorless and darkened the precipitate. The fourth step was the formation of CuSO4. After the solution was decanted from the precipitate and washed with near boiling water, 6 M H2SO4 was added to the beaker containing Copper (II) Oxide and this caused the precipitate to dissolve and the liquid become clear blue. The last step was the formation of Cu(s). This step recovered Solid elemental copper.

The values of mass percent lost by dehydration for each trial were found to be relatively consistent and accurate in comparison to the known value of the mass percent of water for copper sulfate (36.08%). This is expected because the values should be at the same fixed values across the samples, as they are all using the same sample of the hydrate copper sulfate. We can assume that if the experimental value was lower than the known value, there was still some water present in the salt that was not fully dehydrated. If the experimental value was higher than the known value, we can assume that heat was applied for too long of a duration, leading to decomposition of the copper sulfate samples. To get more accurate results with less variation, experimenters could exert extra effort to ensure that variables such as duration of heating and temperature of the flame remain exactly consistent across the trials.

Methylene chloride was added to the TLC chamber until it reaches 0.5 cm depth in order to cover the bottom of the jar; a piece of filter paper was added to the jar allowing the solvent to travel up the paper and the surface area of the solvent increased. Then the plate was placed in the jar containing 100% CH2Cl2 so that the top of the plate rested against the side of the jar opposite the filter paper. When the eluent was near to the top of TLC plate, the plate was removed and then

When the reactants were in the evaporating dish with the hotplate on, the acetic acid and sodium had been chemically bonded in a combustion compound. The mass went from two different reactants to one product and two evaporated

By dissolving a soluble solute in a solvent, the solubility of the created solution can be found. To complete this experiment, it is beneficial to have prior knowledge about solubility and solutions. In this lab experiment, a step-by-step procedure was constructed where an unknown substance was dissolved in water. By doing so, the solubility of the substance was found with the use of the solubility formula and thus, utilizing a solubility chart, the identity of the substance was determined.

This technique separates solid substances that were dissolved in a liquid. Filtration is another technique used to separate substances in mixtures to find the purest form of the particles. This separation can filter out bacteria from water, making it safe to drink. (Libretexts, 2022). Sand, KNO3, CuSO4, and mineral oil were the different samples used to separate them back into their pure substances.

First, two grams on an unknown white compound were given. The possible compounds the known could be were CaCO3, KNO3, NH4Cl, CaCl2, K2SO4, (NH4)2SO2, Ca(NO3)2, NaC2H2O2, K2CO3, MgCl2, Na2CO3, 0.1 M AgNO3, MgSO4, NaCl, 0.2 M BaCl2, KCl, NaSO4, Mg(s), HCl, HNO3, NaOH, HC2H3O2, H2SO4, and KOH. The solubility test required using a scale to measure .575 of our unknown white compound. The unknown compound was measured in a 100 mL beaker.

+ H2O (g) Reaction 4: when a sulphuric acid is added to the solution that contains copper (II) oxide, a double displacement reaction will occur. the copper (II) oxide will react with the sulphuric acid producing copper (II) sulfate and water. The copper and hydrogen gas replace each other. Balanced Chemical Equation: CuO (s) + H2SO4 (aq) —> CuSO4 (aq) + H2O (l) Reaction 5: when zinc is added to the copper (II) sulfate solution, a single displacement reaction will occur.

Throughout the experiment, copper was altered a total of 5 times, but after the final chemical reaction, solid, elemental copper returned. Each time the solution changed color, a precipitate formed, or when gas appeared, indicated that a chemical reaction was occurring. For the first reaction, copper was added to nitric acid, forming the aqueous copper (II) nitrate (where the copper went), along with liquid water, and

The boiling point of the solution will be higher than that of the pure solvent itself. The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure is to equal the atmospheric pressure. When a solute is added there are less solvent molecules near the surface and the solvent’s vapor pressure will decrease, so the vapor pressure of the solution will be less than that of the solvent. For the vapor pressure to reach the atmospheric pressure, a higher temperature must be reached, which means the boiling point is elevated. According to this theory, adding salt to water would make the boiling point higher, and make it harder to reach the boiling point.

As the water was added to the heated sample, the solid copper chloride began to dissolve into a pretty blue-green solution, as a result of the compound breaking apart into individual Cu2+ and Cl- ions. When the water was first mixed with the copper chloride, it dissolved the solid pretty slowly, turning into a sort of mush at first. However, eventually, the water dissolved all of the solid copper chloride and the solution was homogenous. Since the compound just changed physical form, from solid to liquid, this change was purely physical. Just as in the first part of the experiment, the chemical character of the compound was not altered, so the compound did not experience a chemical change.
