          Copper Oxide Pre-Lab WS

 

1) Look at the Black Copper Oxide. Do you think it is a pure substance or a mixture? Explain!

2) Write the symbols for the elements contained in copper oxide____________________.

3) In this experiment the copper oxide will be heated and only copper will remain. Will the products weigh more or less than the reactants?

4) Fill in the blanks

 

Mass of Copper Oxide

Mass of Copper after heating

Mass of Oxygen

5.00g

4.00 g

 

 

6.50 g

1.63 g

12.00g

 

2.40 g

5) If 100 g of Copper Oxide is heated and 80 g of copper remains, what % of copper oxide is copper? What % is oxygen?

6) If 5.00 g. of Copper oxide is heated and 4.00 g. of copper remains, what % of copper oxide is copper? What % oxygen?

7) Using your periodic table, write down the relative atomic mass (RAM) of Copper_______ Write down the RAM of Oxygen ________________

8) How many times heavier is one atom of copper compared to one atom of oxygen?___________________

9) If one atom of copper combines with one atom of oxygen in forming copper oxide

i) Write the formula of copper oxide_______________

ii) Write the Relative molecular mass (RMM) of copper oxide_______________

iii) What % of copper oxide would be copper_______________ What % Oxygen______________

10) If one atom of copper combines with two atoms of oxygen in forming copper oxide

iv) Write the formula of copper oxide_______________

v) Write the Relative molecular mass (RMM) of copper oxide_______________

vi) What % of copper oxide would be copper_______________ What % Oxygen______________

11) If two atoms of copper combines with one atom of oxygen in forming copper oxide

vii) Write the formula of copper oxide_______________

viii) Write the Relative molecular mass (RMM) of copper oxide_______________

ix) What % of copper oxide would be copper_______________ What % Oxygen______________

Your teacher will now review this with you and you will watch copper oxide being heated in the presence of hydrogen gas. Later, you will collect some data to work out the formula of copper oxide.
