Making Salts Experiments: Producing Dry Pure Samples of Copper Chloride in Two Different Ways

The video tutorial explains the process of making copper chloride salts using two methods: copper carbonate and copper oxide. It covers the theory of salt formation, the equipment needed, and safety precautions. The experiments involve reacting the base with hydrochloric acid, filtering excess base, and crystallizing the salt. The video emphasizes the importance of using excess base to ensure complete reaction and provides a step-by-step guide to obtaining pure copper chloride crystals.

Explain the process of filtering the mixture to remove excess copper carbonate.

What happens to the copper chloride solution after it is heated until crystals start to form?

What is the final step in obtaining dry, pure crystals of copper chloride?

How does Katherine ensure that the reaction is complete when using copper oxide?
