1. A student overheats their beaker during the dehydration of the copper salt, creating black CuO(s) and Cl2 (g). How will this error change the mass of water calculated? Explain.
2. A student overheats their beaker during the dehydration of the copper salt, creating black CuO(s) and Cl2 (g). How will this error change the mass of copper calculated? Explain. You may assume that the student is able to react all of the CuO with the aluminum wire.
3. A student reports an erroneously-high waters of hydration mass but the correct copper mass for their sample. How will this change the mass of chloride calculated? Explain.
True or False?
* Qualitative and quantitative data gathered via laboratory experiments is one of the pillars of chemistry. Accurate and repeatable data are essential for good science.* Unused chemicals shouldn't be put back in their original containers to prevent contamination. Never dispense more than is necessary, too
