First, I put 25ml of water in a beaker. Next, I poured the green stuff into a separate beaker. After that, I poured the green stuff into the water. Next, I put a few drops of the solution on aluminum foil. Lastly, I put the remains of the aluminum foil in the solution.
Something I observed during the lab was that the color changed when the green stuff was added to the water. This answers the question about the properties of the green stuff. Something else I observed was that the water bubbled when the green stuff was poured in. This answers the question about physical and chemical properties, that occurrence was a chemical change. I learned that the solution that water and copper chloride made was acidic because it burned through the aluminum foil. I also learned that when aluminum foil is added to that solution it can make copper.
Some practical use of what i learned today is to make large amounts of this solution and burn through certain items for fun or entertainment of others. Another practical use of what i learned today was to burn used aluminum foil to make copper.
A further experiment that i would conduct would be to use the same solution but use it on a variety of items not just aluminum foil. Plus you could separate the solution and use just water and just copper chloride in two different beakers and then the solution in a third beaker. This experiment could broaden the results.This lab taught me a lot about the physical and chemical properties of copper chloride.
