AS - Assessed Practical 1 Which Equation is Correct? Task: This experiment involves the decomposition of copper carbonate whereby we want to find out whether CuO(?) or Cu20(s) is formed upon the decomposition of copper carbonate when heated. I intend to use mole equations to find the volume of gas produced in both equations in order to solve the problem set. Equation 1 - 2CuCO3(s) Cu2O(s) + 2CO2(g) + 1/2O2 Equation 2 - CuCO3(s) CuO(s) + CO2(g) By using the formula for moles and the volume of gas, I am able to predict the volume of gas produced before I have actually implemented the experiment. Equipment and Reagents * Tripod and Mat * Bunsen Burner and Rubber Bung * Boss and Clamp Stand * 100ml Conical Flask * 100cm³ Graduated Gas Syringe * Weighing Scale (±0.01g) * ?g of copper carbonate ( The mass will be decided later on because we are limited to 100cm³ volume of gas in the syringe. Background Information Copper...
