Day 2 and 3 of Copper (II) Chloride Lab

We have completed the lab. On day 2, we simply took the nail out of the copper (II) chloride solution and used hydrochloric acid and distilled water to wash the copper, and then left it to dry over the weekend. On day 3, we weighed the nail and the jar with the solid copper. For mine and Bri's lab, we found out that we produced a 3+ ion of iron.

Below are pictures of day 2:
