 Set-up And Method

Method
Task 2 Add small amounts of copper
oxide in a beaker

Add 20cm3 sulphuric acid, and

stir

Keep adding, until some un-

reacted copper oxide remains at
the bottom

Filter the solution, removing the

un-reacted copper oxide

Transfer the filtrate to an

evaporating basin

Heat gently, until about one

third of the water has
evaporated

Leave the solution to cool, and

examine the crystals…
