NAME
When chromium metal is added to copper sulfate, there are two possible reactions:
(a) Cr + CuSO4
CrSO4 Cu
(b) 2Cr 3CuSO4
Cr2(SO4)3 3Cu
1. THEORETICAL RATIOS, GIVEN BY EQUATION
What is the ratio of moles Cr to moles Cu shown in equation (a)? Express this ratio as a
fraction, moles Cr divided by moles Cu. Do the division and express the number to
three significant figures.
What is the ratio of moles Cr to moles Cu shown in equation (b)? Express this ratio as a
fraction, moles Cr divided by moles Cu. Do the division and express the number to
three significant figures.
2. EXPERIMENTAL RATIO
1.50 g of chromium is added to a solution of CuSO4. 2.75 g of Cu were formed.
Calculate moles of chromium. Calculate moles of copper. Divide moles Cr by moles
Cu, expressing the ratio to three significant figures. SHOW ALL WORK.
Compare to part 1. Which reaction occurred, (a) or (b)?
63
