Question
A student was given an unknown chloride of copper. He was asked to determine the formula of the chloride. He mixed the
chloride with 2.125 g Zn. When the reaction was completed, the copper that was formed from the reaction was transferred
(following a series of steps to detach the copper solid from the Zn solid and washing off zinc chloride from it) to a previously
weighed out evaporating dish. Fill in the blanks in answering the question.
Mass of Zinc chloride = 4.293 g
Mass of evaporating dish = 10.320 g
Mass of evaporating dish + copper (after drying) = 14.320 g
END
Mass of copper =
4.00g
