Copper Cycle The copper cycle involves many different type of reactions.

In this lab you will investigate the various types of reactions that are used to complete the cycle. Solid copper will be added at the beginning of the reactions. Due to the law of conservation of matter the amount of copper put into the reaction should also come out of the reaction at the end. The reactions that you will perform are generally outlined in the following cycle:
