Question

Help me please , I got 0.003 for a I need help with b and c

Answer 1

(a) The moles of CuSO₄ is 3.125 × 10⁻³ moles.

(b) The moles of Cu is 3.125 × 10⁻³ moles.

(c) The mass of Cu is 0.2 g.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Mass of CuSO₄ = 0.5 g

Molar mass of CuSO₄ = 160 g/mol

The given balanced chemical equation is:

`2Al+3CuSO_4\rightarrow 3Cu+Al_2(SO_4)_3`

Part (a):

Calculating the moles of CuSO₄.

`\text{Moles of } CuSO_4=\frac{\text{Mass of }CuSO_4}{\text{Molar mass of }CuSO_4}\\\\\text{Moles of } CuSO_4=(0.5g)/(160g/mol)\\\\\text{Moles of } CuSO_4=3.125* 10^(-3)mol`

Thus, the moles of CuSO₄ is 3.125 × 10⁻³ moles.

Part (b):

Calculating the moles of Cu.

From the balanced chemical equation, we conclude that:

As, 3 moles of CuSO₄ reacts to give 3 moles of Cu

So, 3.125 × 10⁻³ moles of CuSO₄ reacts to give 3.125 × 10⁻³ moles of Cu

Thus, the moles of Cu is 3.125 × 10⁻³ moles.

Part (c):

Calculating the mass of Cu.

Mass of Cu = Moles of Cu × Molar mass of Cu

Molar mass of Cu = 64 g/mol

Mass of Cu = (3.125 × 10⁻³ mole) × (64 g/mol)

Mass of Cu = 0.2 g

Thus, the mass of Cu is 0.2 g.
