Document Summary
It is important for chemistry industries to get gains greater than the amount they put in and it is important to find out whether these synthesizing methods are effective (department of. The purpose of this experiment was to dissolve a copper wire through numerous reactions and to recover the copper in a pure solid state. The objective of this experiment is to try to get a percent recovery of 100% at the end of the various reactions. Our findings showed that the percentage of copper recovery is greater than 100% and this occurred due to few factors. The first factor is that the water may not have fully evaporated which would have caused the mass of the copper to be overstated which then results in the percent recovery to be greater than 100%. If chemistry industries were to use these method effectively they would need to find an effective way to make the solvent evaporate from the copper precipitate.
