Electroplating works by an electric current is passed through a solution that conducts electricity, called an electrolyte. To create this current two electrodes (E.g. copper and nickel) are dipped in the electrolyte solution, and are connected to a battery or power supply. When the current is turned on the electrodes gain a charge. Anode is the positively charged electrode, and the cathode is the negatively charged electrode. Depending on the material that is being electroplated, a specific electrolyte and anode are selected. In this experiment the copper plate will be the anode, the nickel will be the cathode and there will be a copper based electrolyte solution, copper sulfate solution. Copper sulfate solution contains blue copper ions and

Chemical Reaction Lab Report Essay

The purpose of this lab was to study the four main types of chemical reactions, and describe these reactions using balanced chemical equations. This lab was done in an open classroom with air circulating vents, safety goggles were worn, long hair was tied up, and sleeves were rolled up. This lab was divided into seven different stations, each of which studies a different chemical reaction. The first station included copper (II) sulphide penta-hydrate, which was burned in a test tube using a Bunsen…

Synthesis and Chemistry of K2S2O8 Essay

SYNTHESIS AND CHEMISTRY OF K2S2O8 ABSTRACT In this experiment, a sample of K2S2O8 was prepared by the electrolysis of an aqueous solution of H2SO4 and K2SO4. The peroxodisulfate anion, S2O82-, was also observed for its ability to serve as a counterion for precipitation by preparing a copper (II) complex by reacting hydrated copper (II) sulfate with ammonium peroxodisulfate in the presence of pyridine. This same ability, coupled with its strong oxidizing ability allowed for stabilization of…

Synthesis of Co(Acac)3 Essay

Amanda Tran Date of lab: 04/25/05 Date submitted: 05/09/05 Chem 2130-3 Experiment 3: Synthesis of Co(acac-NO2)3 Introduction In this lab, Co(acac·NO2)3 is synthesized using the Co(acac)3 complex produced in Experiment 2. The Co(acac)3 complex is used as a reagent instead of acacH because acacH cannot be directly converted to 3-nitroacetylacetone. Since Co(acac)3 is not stable in HNO3, Cu(NO3)2 and acetic anhydride are used in this reaction to produce the final product…
