Periodic Table

 

 

 

á       Expt 2:  A Cycle of Copper Reactions

á       Prepare for Expt 11

o      Meet your partners (see Blackboard Mad Science link)

o      Take a look at available materials in lab (out all week)

o      Group writes procedure via Blackboard wiki

1.    Complete this in time for a KDL-safety check (at least 1 full day before your lab class meets next week)

á       Quiz 1:  Expt 3

 

Notes for Today

A Cycle of Copper Reactions

á       Goals for today

o      Observe each rxn  Gas, ppt, color change?

o      Use equations to interpret observations

o      Retain as much Cu as possible

 

á       Thinking about the rxns

o      What kind of rxn?  Redox, acid-base, pptn, etc. 

o      What reactant is required for rxn?

o      How do you know when a rxn is complete?

o      How can you minimize losses of Cu/Cu compounds?

 

á       Safety

o      Goggles required throughout

o      Do not leave Bunsen burner flames unattended

o      Keep acetone (flammable) away from heat sources
