Section Two: Part One B.

Day One.

This is the after picture of the beginning of the lab.

In the picture above, we added Nitric Acid to the Copper to form Cu(NO₃)₂ an aqueous solution.

In this part of the lab Corey is adding NaOH to Cu(NO₃)_{2 to form} Cu(OH)_2.

Corey is STRIVING FOR ACCURACY. He is striving for accuracy by making sure every drop NaOH doesn't get on himself or Austin or Lindsey. He is also making sure that he is putting the right amount of NaOH in the Cu(OH)_{2 solution.}

Oops, we need more OH.

Right amount of NaOH. Showing that the pH strip is blue, which is the color we needed to start the heating process.

Before picture.

When heating the Cu(OH)_{2 it turns a brown/black color so that the filtering goes by faster. Lindsey is making sure that the Copper doesn't boil or spill anywhere.}

After picture, forming CuO.
