Part A: Dissolving the Cu(s) 1. Weigh approximately 0.500 g of copper wire provided to the nearest 0.001 g and record its mass (pg. 57, #1). Transfer the Cu into a clean, dry 250-ml beaker. 2. Obtain 5 mL of concentrated HNO, and add to the beaker containing the copper wire. This step MUST BE DONE IN THE HOOD. **If the HNO, gets on your skin, wash immediately with cold water for 10 minutes and inform your TA.** 3. After the reaction is complete, add 100 mL of distilled H₂O. Describe your observations (color change, temperature change, evolution of gas, etc.) on the Report Sheet (pg. 57, #6). Part B: Precipitating Cu(OH),(s) and Forming Cuo(s) 4. Add 30 mL of 3.0 M NaOH to the solution in your beaker and describe the reaction on your Report Sheet (pg. 57, # 7). Add a couple of boiling chips and gently heat the solution on a hot plate, just to the boiling point. Describe and record your observations (pg. 57, #8). 5. Remove the beaker from the hot plate and let it cool down to room temperature. Record your observations. Prepare an ice bath in a 400-mL beaker by filling the beaker about half full with ice and 20 mL of water. 6. Place the reaction beaker in the ice bath. The solid will settle out and cool. After about 5 minutes or when a clear (no cloudiness) solution appears above the solid, slowly and carefully decant off as much of the supernatant (solution above the solid) as possible into a spare beaker to discard later. Do not lose any of the solid (pg. 57, #9)! Part C: Dissolving the CuO(s) 7. Obtain 15 mL of 6 M H₂SO, and slowly add to the beaker containing the solid from step #6. (Beaker B). Stir gently (pg. 57, #10). If the H₂SO, gets on your skin, wash immediately with cold water for 10 minutes and inform your TA. 8. When the entire solid has dissolved, the solution will be clear (not cloudy). If any cloudiness re- mains, add 1 additional mL of 6 M H₂SO, and stir. Repeat until solution is clear. 9. Record your observations. Part D: Reforming Cu(s) via Reduction with Zinc 10. In the hood, add 2.0 g of zinc metal provided all at once and stir until the supernatant liquid (the solution above the solid) is colorless. To speed up the reaction, occasionally use your stirring rod to mash the zinc (pg. 58, #11 & #12). 11. When gas evolution has become VERY SLOW, heat the solution gently (not to boiling) on a hot plate and allow it to cool. When all of the zinc has reacted, bubbles will cease forming. Let the solid settle out. Slowly and carefully decant the supernatant liquid of the solid (pg. 58, #13 a) and b)). 12. Record your observations of the reaction and the solid. 13. Transfer the precipitate to a preweighed evaporating dish and record its mass on your Report Sheet. Wash the solid copper using 5 mL distilled water, allow it to settle, decant the solution, and repeat the process. Wash in the same manner using 5 mL methanol, and then one final time using 5 mL acetone (pg. 58, #14). Classifying Reactions in the Copper Cycle
