Test Today

Good luck to everyone on the Stoichiometry test today. This unit is slightly easier than the last few, so don't stress too much, but know your stuff. The following link helped me study!

Again, good luck to all.

Stoichiometry Lab Overview

Beautiful Lab!

Click here for a demonstration: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=f2X_8ViaDo8

After completing the lab, it is clear that we used Fe (III) rather than Fe (II). We made 1.8849 grams of Cu with a 85.17% yield.

Chemical Stoichiometry

We did a lab today!

Included are pictures of our forming Cu and my awesome goggle forehead marks. 

Mass of jar: 74.8083 g

Mass of CuCl2: 4.0836 g

Mass of Fe: 7.7266 g

Limiting Reagents

1. Balance the chemical equation for the chemical reaction

2. Convert the given information into moles.

3. Use stoichiometry for each individual reactant to find the mass of product produced

4. The reacant that produces a larger amount of product is the limiting reagent. 

5. The reactant that produces a larger amount of product is the excess reagent

6. To find the amount of remaining excess reactant, subtract the mass of excess reagent consumed from the total mass of excess reagent given.

LAB DAY 2!!

Lab day 2!!

At the end of the lab, our Fe was 6.4298 grams. So, 1.2968 grams of Fe reacted in the lab.

Fe(II) 1.2968gFe * 1molFe/55.85gFe * 1mol Cu/1molFe * 63.55gCu/1molCu =1.476gCu

Fe(III) 1.2968gFe* 1molFe/55.85gFe * 3molCu/2molFe * 63.55gCu/1molCu = 2.213gCu
