CHEM 232 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Salt Metathesis Reaction, Magnetic Stirrer, Fume Hood
Document Summary
Learning objectives: perform a series of reactions to convert copper ions to copper metal, develop technical skills including ltration and decantation, calculate and convert between molarity and amount in grams and calculate the percent yield of the reaction. One simple way to state the aim of chemistry is: the study of matter and its transformations. In this experiment, a copper sample will appear in ve di erent forms by going through ve chemical reactions. Generally, the vast majority of chemical reactions can be classi ed as one of the following types: Ab + c ac + b (combination) (decomposition) (double displacement) (single displacemnet) You will perform a series of reactions and record observations. Based upon your observations, and knowing the reaction type (given in the procedure), you will have to write a balanced equation for each reac- tion. To help you get started, reaction 2 is discussed below. Reaction 2 (rxn 2) is a double displacement reaction:
