Today in class, we did the first day of the Copper (II) Chloride Lab. This simply consisted of preparing the nail in the solution to be decomposed. We measured the jar and copper (II) chloride, and we then combined this with water in the jar. After mixing it so the crystals dissolved, the appearance was a bold blue liquid. We placed the nail in the solution, and now we simply wait for the copper (II) chloride to react with it.
Here are some pictures of the lab:
Also, below is a source that synthesizes chemical reactions and stoichiometry:

I really like this post! The pictures you included were really neat and helped me visualize the lab. I personally thought this lab was pretty fun so I enjoyed reading about it again and the link provided was helpful too.
