I need help with determing the mass of a reaction containing Cu and Cl2 with iron nails Given the information: mass of the empty dry beaker:...

Balanced equation:


CuCl2  +
Fe  -->  FeCl2  +  Cu  + Fe


For every mole of Fe
used, one mole of CuCl2 is also used.



1.  Since
from #3 there were 0.014 moles of Fe used, then there were 0.014 moles of CuCl2 * 134.45
g/mol = 1.88 g of CuCl2 used.


2.  mass of iron.  3.82 g -
3.04 g = .78 g of Fe used.


3. Moles of iron used: 
.78/55.85 = 0.014 moles of Fe


4.  Mass of Cu produced: 
106.41-105.52 = 0.89 g of Cu


5. moles of Cu:  0.89/63.55 =
0.014 moles of Cu


6. mole ratio:  0.014: 0.014 = 1:1 ratio
as expected from the balanced chemical equation.


7.# of
atoms of Fe &Cu.   0.014 moles * 6.023x10^23 atoms/mole = 8.43 x 10^21 atoms of
each.


8. Blue color fades because the CuCl2 concentration
is decreasing.


9. Balanced equation is at
top.


10. moles, mass, atoms if use 100 g of Fe.  100/55.85
= 1.79 moles of Fe used.  So produce 1.79 moles of Cu, which is 1.79*63.55 = 113.75 g of
Cu.  1.79 * 6.023x 10^23 = 1.078 x 10^24 atoms of Cu.

What accomplishments did Bill Clinton have as president?

Of course, Bill Clinton's presidency will be most clearly remembered for the fact that he was only the second president ever...
