Copper(II) Chloride and Iron Lab Day 1

After placing nail in solution

This lab was a great lab to show chemical reactions and their precipitate. I was fascinated by how fast the copper clung to the nail. We left to wash our hands and came back and the nail was covered by a thick layer of copper. The objective of the lab was to determine the charge of iron. Whether it was Iron 2+ or Iron 3+. In a few days we will be able to determine this based on our percent yield calculations.
