Stoichiometry Week 2 Post #1

Last week on Thursday, we started the Cu (II) Chloride Lab. From reading over the lab beforehand it seemed pretty simple, and both my lab partner and I made in into the lab pretty easily. The lab was really fun because we got to react a nail (Fe) with CuCl2 in a baby food jar, and then after the weekend we came back and got to see what exactly had happened. It was also interesting because Mrs. Frankenburg had told us that Iron would either react with a 2+ charge or a 3+ charge and it would be totally random which charge of iron our nail would react like.
