This lab is overall pretty amazing! We first had to take the mass of the baby food jar and add copper (II) chloride in it. The powder was a pretty blue with sparkles. Then we added water in the jar, and we had to stir it with a stirring rod. Then we added the polished iron nail into the solution. Immediately we saw a reaction! The nail looked like it was being heated up because it looked like a yellow/orange kinda color that metal looks like when you're melting it. Then we just had to let it sit and wait for the reaction to finalize over night!
Here are some pictures below of the lab on day 1!
Your pictures are awesome! The iron in my experiment acted as a plus two charge. What did the iron in yours act as?
