Lab 18 Stoichiometry: Copper II Chloride
Lab #18 Stoichiometry
In this lab, we reacted aluminum foil with a copper chloride solution, and determined the amount of metal that should be produced, given the amount of aluminum used. First, we obtained a piece of aluminum with a mass of 0.809 g, and reacted it with 100 mL of Copper II Chloride, after heating the solution. Then, we filtered out the copper separated in the reaction using filter paper, massing 0.751 g. Once all the solution was filtered, we massed the new filter paper filled with copper, after letting it dry overnight. The mass of the filter paper with the copper was 3.450 g, making the mass of just the copper 2.699 g. This closely compares to the accepted mass of copper for this reaction of 2.88 g. Finally, we found the
