Goal: Determine the
Mass Percent of Copper Metal in a Unknown Sample of Brass
Key concepts that must be addressed:
How do you remove the copper from the brass?
How do you determine the “amount” of copper that was removed
from the brass?
Consider the data collected and how that will be helpful –
Remember – Mass % of Copper in Brass = (Mass of Copper/Mass
of Brass)X100%
Requirement – You must incorporate the Spectrophotometer in
your procedure
Come to class with thoughtful ideas. DO NOT LOOK UP THE GOAL ONLINE. The idea is for you to think, not find the
answers on the internet. If you want to
look up information that is needed, like “how to remove copper from brass”
ok.
