Experiment 2 Worksheet: Conservation of Copper

Purpose: (A statement should be made here regarding what your experiment is designed to accomplish.)

 

 


Procedure: (Describe here how you went about completing your experiment. Use enough detail that someone could repeat it, if necessary. Also reference any books or manual you may have used to assist you.)

 

 

 

Data:
Before Reaction:
Mass of 250 mL side-arm flask __________
Mass of 5 or 6 pieces of solid zinc metal on Kimwipe _______________________
Mass of 1 Kimwipe _________________
Mass of 250 mL side-arm flask with CuSO4 acidic solution _______________
Mass of CuSO4 acidic solution alone _____________
Mass of Zn Metal alone____________
After Reaction:
Mass of metal pieces on Kimwipe _______
Mass of 250 mL side-arm flask with CuSO4 acidic solution _______________

Mass of solution alone _____________ Mass of metal pieces alone____________

Calculated mass of H2 gas alone______________

 

Total mass before reaction___________ Total mass after reaction_______________

 

Mass % recovered after reaction (xxx)________________

Calculations: (Show all calculations used to produce the above data here.)

 

 

 

 

Conclusions: (Summarize your results here and discuss possible errors that may have occurred during the experiment. Does the mass you recovered support the law of conservation of mass? If it does, explain how it does. If it doesn’t explain, why it does not. How do the possible errors in your experiment affect your decision as to whether or not your experiment supports the law?)
