Copper Chloride Lab

Proper scientific technique requires careful observations to make conclusions. This week we did a lab working with Copper Chloride.  here are my observations.

1. at first the water looked clear and the water was at 19 degrees Celsius.
2. added the blue powder like Sodium Chloride
3. upon entering the water the Sodium Chloride diffused
4. when the Sodium Chloride diffused the water turned green
5. the green water was clear
6. after fully dissolving and diffusing the water turned a murky grey/white water
7. after stirring the water vigorously the water turned back to blue but still murky
8. after that we put in a piece of tinfoil
9. as soon as the silver aluminum hit the chemical it started to bubble and turn brown
10. after putting in the tinfoil the temperature went from 19 Celsius to 21.5 Celsius
11. after stirring the chemical now with tinfoil in it we took the temperature
12. it went up to 25 Celsius
13. now after the stirring the was a pail blue
14. looked like there was sand on the bottom of it the beaker
15. when the chemical was in the beaker it was murky blue then after
16. after filtering the chemical was a pail clear blue
17. then we put the clear acid in a test tube
18. then we put clear acid in the chemical
19. the chemical foamed and started to turn back to blue
20. when I was watching it the chemical started to fizz and sizzle
21. there were a lot of bubbles
22. then it turned green
