Hi guys,
I am currently doing OCR chemistry AS, and am doing my coursework.
I am planning an experiment to decompose copper carbonate by heating, and collecting the gas released.
The thing I don't understand, that I have seen in previous coursework, is that you have to specify an initial mass of the substance you are decomposing to use and it is usually in a specific range on the mark scheme. How do you determine this mass? I am so confused!!
Thanks for the help,
Dave
