I haven't been here for most of the lab but so far what I've seen is that we're making solid copper in a baby food jar using a nail. Single Replacement reaction: Copper II Chloride + Iron = Iron II Chloride +Copper. On the day I was there we-
Washed off the remainder of the nail
Siphoned off the solution of Iron II Chloride
Washed copper with HCl and distilled water
Put copper in 'drying oven'

I think that it's really neat that you got that your iron formed 2+ ions when my iron formed 3+ ions. By the way, this reaction could also be classified as a redox reaction as we discussed last unit. Good luck on the test!
