Copper and Zinc Composition Percentages in Pennies Introduction. The United States Mint sends copper and zinc to a fabricator‚ which creates coin-sized discs called planchets. The planchets undergo the coining press at the Mint where they are stamped as genuine United States legal tender coins. The purpose of this experiment is to determine the accuracy of the copper and zinc composition percentages in a random sampling of pennies. The penny was dissolved to make aqueous copper ions and four copper

Determining the Percent Copper and Zinc in Pennies from Density Lab Report Procedure: For pre-1982 pennies- Mass 10 pennies‚ record data. Fill a 100mL graduated cylinder to 40mL or enough to fully submerge the pennies with water‚ record the volume in data table. Carefully place the pennies into the graduated cylinder‚ record the final volume of the water in data table. To find the volume of the pennies‚ subtract the final volume from the initial‚ record the data. Repeat this procedure twice more

Percent Copper and Zinc in Pennies From Density Purpose: Practicing determine the density of the solution. Developing the method for determine the percent of density for the solution. Examining the linear relationship by learning to use the best-fit straight line. Using the linear relationship to determine the percent of density by the solution. Be familiar with recording data and observations. Methods & Material: Methods: Weight the mass for the different percent of zinc and copper mixtures

determine the density and composition of a penny it must be first weighed on a scale. Find the average mass of multiple pennies from the same year. After weighing it find the volume by placing the pennies into a 50 ml beaker with 15 ml of water. Note the change in volume to obtain the volume of the pennies‚ obtain the average volume‚ and then calculate the density by dividing the mass of the penny by the volume. 2.) To keep measurements accurate and precise test multiple pennies from the same year and

Determining the composition of pennies with redox reactions Introduction: The understanding of oxidation and reduction must be clear to carry out this lab. With the understanding of these concepts we can calculate or hypothesize for the properties of each element or compound. Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield

Determination of % Composition of Pennies Using Redox and Double Displacement (Precipitation) Reactions Introduction: Oxidation involves the gain of electrons of hydrogen or the loss of oxygen or decrease in oxidation state. If zinc completely reacts with HCL‚ then the theoretical yield of copper should be equivalent to the actual yield. Purpose: In this lab‚ we will determine the percent composition of a modern (post-1982) penny by using a strong acid to react and dissolve the zinc core‚ leaving

mass of penny‚ copper‚ and zinc was needed in order to determine the percent composition of copper and zinc. The mass of penny was taken on the scale in the beginning of the procedure before anything was done to the penny‚ and it was 2.51 grams. After the reaction with the hydrochloric acid and drying the copper‚ the mass is 0.35 grams. To get the mass of zinc‚ the mass of the penny was subtracted by the mass of copper. The mass of zinc is 2.16 grams. The penny is 14% copper and 86% zinc by dividing
