Reaction 4-Cupric Oxide to Cupric Chloride

CuO(s) + HCl(aq) -> CuCl2(aq) + H2O(l)
Put funnel with filter paper in beaker. Dissolve solid by pouring 8 ml 6 M HCl into funnel. Keep repeating until all of solid is dissolved into a green liquid.
Measure that HCl!
Make sure the filter paper turns all white!
We used a small amount of distilled water to clean all of the green color off of the filter in order to have correct results.

This reaction is a double replacement reaction. The driving force is formation of water. Water was formed because the oxygen combined with the hydrogen to form the compound.
