Calculate the experimental percent composition of copper 3.85 g 79.5 % Cu x 100 = % Cu = 4.84 g

  7. Calculations and Graphs (SHOW WORK) 2. Calculate the experimental percent composition of copper 3.85 g 79.5 % Cu x 100 = % Cu = 4.84 g 3. Compare your answer from question 2 to the pre-lab calculations. Which formula most closely matches your results? Pre-Lab results: (Theoretical %) Copper (I) oxide, Cu2O = 88.8 % Cu Copper (II) oxide, CuO = 79.9 % Cu 79.5 % Cu(experimental result) matches Copper (II) oxide, CuO, 79.9 % Cu

  8. Calculations and Graphs (SHOW WORK) 3. Compare your answer from question 2 to the pre-lab calculations. Which formula most closely matches your results? 79.5 % Cu(experimental result) = CuO, 79.9 % Cu (theoretical result) 4. Determine the percent error of your lab data. Theoretical % - Experimental % % error = x 100 Theoretical % - 79.9 79.5 % error = x 100 = 0.50 % error 79.9

  11. Conclusion Questions: 1. Identify all the physical properties that confirmed the product was copper metal. • Color: The color matched that of copper (reddish-brown). • Luster: When the sample was rubbed on the table it became shiny. • Conductivity: The sample conducted electricity easily.

  12. Conclusion Questions: • Methane gas was used as a reducing agent in this experimient. The gas was allowed to pass over the CuO inside the test tube as the reactant was heated. • How did the methane help reduce the CuO to copper metal? • The methane helped remove the oxygen from the CuO so it would not recombine with the hot copper left over. • Equation: CH4 (g)+ O2 (g) CO2 (g)+ H2O(g) 2 2

  13. Conclusion Questions: 3. Why was the methane gas ignited at the top of the test tube? • The methane was ignited to prevent unburned methane being able to escape the test tube and blow up the classroom. 4. Why was the methane kept burning for 5 minutes after the Bunsen burner was shut off below the test tube? • The methane was kept burning to prevent oxygen from the air getting into the test tube and reacting with the hot copper product.

  14. Conclusion Questions: 5. Would not heating the copper oxide sample long enough make the final ratio of moles of copper to moles of oxygen higher, lower, or have no effect? Explain. mol Cu = mol O • The mole ratio would be higher. • If you did not heat the sample long enough, the final mass of the sample would be a mixture of CuO and Cu instead of pure Cu. • Since CuO has more mass than Cu, the mass would be higher and as a consequence our calculation of Moles Cu would also be higher.
