Yes, it does.
2. Suggest a possible formula for the sample of copper sulfide tested: Cu2S
3. Complete and balance the equation below that shows the reaction that led to the formation of
the sample of copper sulfide tested:
B. Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Add a small piece of zinc to a test tube containing 2 mL of 6 M HCl and note what happens.
4. Record your observations.
Bubbles=Hydrogen Gas formed+ Zinc dissolved.
Place a small piece of copper wire in a clean test tube; add 2 mL of 6 M HCl and note if a reaction
occurs.
6. Record your observations: No change.
7. Based on the reaction above, is Cu an active or an inactive metal? Inactive Metal.
WHILE HOLDING A CLEAN TEST TUBE IN THE FUME HOOD, place a 1-in. piece of
copper wire in it and add 1 mL of concentrated nitric acid, HNO3.
11. After the reaction has proceeded for 5 min, carefully add 5 mL of water. The solution turns
blue.
Based upon the color of the solution what substance is present in solution?
Cu (NO 3) 2
WHILE HOLDING A TEST TUBE IN THE FUME HOOD, add one or two drops of potassium
permanganate, KMnO4, solution to 1 mL of 6 M HCl.
12. Record your observations: Brown color.
14. Based on the color and odor of the gas, what is the gas? Cl 2 Gas
C. Metathesis Reactions
Place a small sample of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, in a test tube and add several drops of 6 M HCl.
15. Record your observations: _Fizzing at the beginning, the formation of small bubbles.
CHE 1401
16. Note the odor and color of the gas that forms: Odorless, Colorless
To 1 mL of 0.1 M lead nitrate, Pb(NO3)2, solution in a clean test tube, add a few drops of 6 M
HCl.
19. Record your observations: Fizzing+ clear separation
Isolate the precipitate obtained in step 25a and add to it several drops of 6 M HCl.
27. Record your observations: Precipitate floated upwards.
