Title: Making salts
Aim: To produce copper sulphate salt by reacting copper oxide with an acid.
Equipment: Copper oxide powder, dilute, sulfuric acid, cylinder, beakers, heating pad/Bunsen burner, funnel, filter paper, heating pad, stiring rod
Method:
1. Add 20ml of sulfuric acid to a 100ml beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70 degrees then turn whatever heater off.
2. Once heated, add a pea size portion of copper oxide to the beaker and stir for 30 seconds.
3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve and the beaker cools.
4. Fold a piece of filter paper into a funnel and get the other beaker and funnel the liquid into the 2nd beaker.
5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.
6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter through.
7. Then leave it over a certain amount of time and see what happens.
