Investigation #2 Separating a Compound Copper (II) sulfate penta-hydrate 1. 2. 3. 4.
Obtain a clean, dry test tube. Obtain about 0.5 grams of copper (II) sulfate and 3 pieces of zinc. In the test tube dissolve the copper (II) sulfate in 10mL of distilled water. Place the zinc pieces in the solution. Record your observations. Now, it’s up to you Can you design a method to recover and separate the solids in the test tube?
Disposal for this lab *Place the solids and the solution in the designated waste beakers located in the fume hood.
