Copper Sulfate Lab Report

The purpose of this experiment is to determine the ratio of moles of iron to moles of copper in a chemical reaction between iron and copper sulfate. We will then compare this ratio to the ratio between the coefficients of the balanced equation for the chemical reaction. To do this, we will use our knowledge of single replacement reactions, balancing chemical equations, and converting between grams and moles. We will apply these concepts to the chemical reaction between iron and copper sulfate to answer this question: what is mass of the copper product of the chemical reaction between 2.24 grams of iron and 8.0 grams of copper sulfate?
Hypothesis: When copper sulfate reacts with iron filings, the reaction will produce 2.55 grams of solid copper.
