Abstract

An introductory chemistry project involving the synthesis and identification of double salts containing the copper and hydroxide ions is described. The preparations are carried out in aqueous solution and the analyses include qualitative, colorimetric, gravimetric, and volumetric gas analyses. The results permit the student to determine the empirical formula of the compound synthesized. The results can be discussed with regard to the conditions under which these minerals form in nature.
