Copper (II) Chloride and Iron Lab

Today in class we started the Copper (II) and Iron Lab! To pass the prelab, we had to answer a basic stoichiometry problem correctly.

All we did for the first day was first weigh an empty baby food jar, a nail scratched with steel wool, and copper (II) chloride.

We added water and the copper chloride to the jar, stirred till it dissolved, and added the nail.

Here are some pictures of the process:

Now we will wait two days for the copper chloride to react with the nail.
