I passed the pre-lab quiz and did the day 1 procedure, but was absent Friday, so I have no idea of the result of the lab!!! If someone could comment these reactions that occurred, it would be very beneficial when I have to turn this in. I heard it was pretty easy, but I just wanted to make sure I had the physical result.

I know I wasn't your partner in the lab, but after day one of the lab, small red solids formed which if I remember correctly, is copper. The nail that was put in the chemicals also was slightly degraded through the chemical reaction.

Fe (2) had about a 127.7% yield while Fe (3) had 85.17%, making it the more likely reactant.
