Copper (II) Chloride and Iron Lab: Day 2

Today we took the nail that was soaking in the copper chloride yesterday and rinsed off the copper from the nail in the baby food jar. Our group was able to collect a pretty large amount of copper. We then proceeded to clean the copper and dry it off. Next day we will take measurements and then calculate if the iron is 2 or 3!

Here is a photo of our copper:

  1. That is a pretty semi-solid picture of copper Matt! I am glad to hear you guys had a lot of copper. We did too, but later found out that many others had even better results. This lab was pretty fun. I am glad we got to do it.

  2. It was a pleasure working with you. I would agree that our lab was pretty successful. Maybe next time you'll remember to clean up.
