b. Statement A is incorrect and statement B is correct.
c. Both statements are correct.
d. Both statements are incorrect.
1. A student overheats their beaker during the dehydration of the copper salt, creating black CuO(s) and Cl2 (g). How will this error change the mass of water calculated? Explain.
2. A student overheats their beaker during the dehydration of the copper salt, creating black CuO(s) and Cl2 (g). How will this error change the mass of copper calculated? Explain. You may assume that the student is able to react all of the CuO with the aluminum wire.
3. A student reports an erroneously-high waters of hydration mass but the correct copper mass for their sample. How will this change the mass of chloride calculated? Explain.
