Question

Calculate the mass of copper metal product. Show work!
CuSO4 + Zn →→ Cu + ZnSO4
g Cu=???

Answer 1

To calculate the mass of copper produced in this reaction, you need to know the mass of CuSO4 and Zn used and the balanced chemical equation for the reaction. Without this information, I cannot perform the calculation for you.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

mass of CuSO4 = 0.3 g

mass of Zn = 0.2 g

Formula:

mass of Cu = mass of CuSO4 - (mass of Zn x (mole mass of Cu / mole mass of Zn))

Calculations:

mass of Cu = 0.3 g - (0.2 g x (63.55 g/mol / 65.39 g/mol))

Answer:

mass of Cu = 0.27 g
