A Four-Reaction Copper Cycle: Copper and Its Compounds—ChemTopic™ Lab Activity

Copper is one of the most widely used—and reused—metals. Almost as much copper is recovered from recycled copper scrap as is produced from newly mined copper ores. With the A Four-Reaction Copper Cycle: Copper and Its Compounds—ChemTopic™ Lab Activity, use a sequence of four chemical reactions to demonstrate the properties of copper and its compounds throughout the “copper cycle” as well as the law of conservation of mass.
