| Act II, Part I: Sourcing | |||
| Shot | Voice | Finished | Notes |
| Card: Sourcing | There are only two materials needed | ||
| Display copper ore rock | malachite is a mineral form of copper carbonate, and | ||
| Cover Image for ammonium chloride | ammonium chloride is already in our library. See video #YYY | ||
| Act II, Part II: Setup | |||
| Shot | Voice | Finished | Notes |
| Card: Setup | Preparation is simple | ||
| Weighing out copper carbonate | We measure out 22.1g (0.1 mol) of dry copper carbonate | ||
| Weighing out ammonium chloride | and 10.6g (0.2 mol) of dry ammonium chloride | ||
| Pour both of them into a small flask and shake | We mix them thoroughly in a small flask | ||
| Add gas takeoff with hose, and clamp to bar | This reaction produces ammonia and water vapor as gases. | ||
| Attach hose to bubbler | We'll trap the gases in fresh water | ||
| Light alcohol burner | We'll also need a source of heat | ||

| Put the lamp under the flask | We heat the mixture gently and watch | ||
| Continue mixing, Show color change | The reaction starts just under 200°C, and finishes at about 360. When we see the characteristic dark green of copper (II) chloride, we stop. If we get it too hot, or heat it for too long, we can decompose the copper (II) chloride to copper (I) chloride | ||
| Act III, Part II: Testing | |||

| Card: Testing | So... is it really copper (II) chloride? | ||
| Weigh the crystals | At our 0.1molar scale, we should haved 13.4g of anhydrous material or 17g of the dihydrate. | ||
| Melting point | and we can measure the melting point as well. It should be just under 500 °C | ||
