Chemistry Investigation Introduction: To find out the correct formula, I will need the aid of an experiment. I will have to decompose the copper carbonate by heating and measure the amount of gas produced. The volume of gas will help me determine which equation is correct. Method: 1. Set up the apparatus as shown below. 2. Measure out 0.25g of copper carbonate to the nearest 0.01g, remembering to turn the scales after placing the container in which to hold the copper carbonate. 3. Put the copper carbonate into a conical flask and attach a bung, which has a tube protruding from it, so that the rubber tube can be attached easily. 4. Attach the tube connected to the bung by a rubber tube, which is connected to the end of the glass syringe. 5. Make sure that the apparatus is fully connected so that the gas won't leak out. Place conical flask on top of the tripod...
