Calculate the number of grams of the excess reactant that should be left over

Explanation / Answer

mass of iron before reaction = 2.046 grams

mass of iron after reaction = 1.8529 grams

decrease in nail mass = 0.1931 grams

No of mol of CuCl2 = 1.66/134.4520 = 0.0123 mol

No of mol of Fe = 0.1931 / 56 = 0.00345 mol


part A

1. CuCl2(aq) + Fe(s) -----> FeCl2(aq) + Cu(s)

2. No of mol of Fe = 0.00345 mol

No of mol of Cu produced = 0.00345 mol

mass of Cu = 0.00345*63.5 = 0.22 grams

theoretical yield = 0.22 grams

practical yield form data = 0.14 grams

percent yield = 0.14/0.22*100

   = 63.63%

excess reagent is CuCl2

No of mol of excess CuCl2 = 0.0123-0.00345

   = 0.00885 mol

mass of cucl2 = 0.00885*134.4520 = 1.19 grams
