Naje's wacky Wednesday experiment!





















The homework is a continuation of the work we started in class. We placed aluminum foil(Al) in a bag containing copper chloride (CuCl2) in solution. We made several observations and we were asked to draw conclusions.

The homework requires us to synthesize all of that information with our knowledge of chemistry in order to explain what we witnessed in class.

Assignment: What you believe happened today during our science experiment? Was there a chemical reaction? How do you know? What do you think happened to the substances involved? If it was a chemical reaction, what kind of chemical reaction do you think it was (Synthesis? Decomposition? Single displacement? Double displacement?) ?

Write a paragraph explaining what you think happened when we combined aluminum with copper chloride. Remember to provide evidence and also to provide a chemical equation to support your answer.
