Mole Ratio Lab (November 30, 2011)

In this lab, we were to determine the ratio btwn. the moles of iron → moles of copper. (Copper II Chloride)

1) Weigh both nails and filter paper
2) Collect copper (II) chloride w/ scoopula
3) Place the 8g of weighed copper (II) chloride on top of filter paper
4) Add 8g of copper (II) chloride to beaker, then fill w/ 50mL of water
5) Stir the copper (II) chloride & water
6) Determine the mass of nails
7) Place the 2 nails into the solution for 10 mins
8) Place funnel in clamp
9) Fold filter paper into 4 divisions & put in funnel in the shape of a cone
10) Use the tongs to pick up the 2 nails from the beaker & scoop the copper (II) chloride off the nails into the solution
11)Put stirring rod in center of funnel & pour solution into funnel
12) After all the solution is in the beaker, pick the filter paper w/ the tongs
13) Place filter paper in oven for about 30 mins
14) Take paper & weigh on scale
15) Clean up everything
