Answer:
310.53 g of Cu.
Step-by-step explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
CuSO₄ + Zn —> ZnSO₄ + Cu
Next, we shall determine the mass of CuSO₄ that reacted and the mass Cu produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:
Molar mass of CuSO₄ = 63.5 + 32 + (16×4)
= 63.5 + 32 + 64
= 159.5 g/mol
Mass of CuSO₄ from the balanced equation = 1 × 159.5 = 159.5 g
Molar mass of Cu = 63.5 g/mol
Mass of Cu from the balanced equation = 1 × 63.5 = 63.5 g
Summary:
From the balanced equation above,
159.5 g of CuSO₄ reacted to produce 63.5 g of Cu.
Finally, we shall determine the mass of Cu produced by the reaction of 780 g of CuSO₄. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
159.5 g of CuSO₄ reacted to produce 63.5 g of Cu.
Therefore, 780 g of CuSO₄ will react to produce = (780 × 63.5)/159.5 = 310.53 g of Cu.
Thus, 310.53 g of Cu were obtained from the reaction.
