SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the mass of copper reacted in a silver nitrate and copper reaction, represented by the balanced equation Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 ---> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2. The initial mass of copper is provided as 0.93 g, and the final mass of silver is 0.17 g after the reaction. To solve the problem, participants are encouraged to apply stoichiometric principles and show all calculation steps clearly, including unit conversions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stoichiometry and chemical equations
  • Familiarity with mass conservation in chemical reactions
  • Basic knowledge of unit conversions in chemistry
  • Ability to balance chemical equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Review stoichiometric calculations in chemical reactions
  • Learn about mass-to-mole conversions in chemistry
  • Explore the concept of limiting reactants in chemical equations
  • Study the principles of gravimetric analysis in laboratory settings
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and laboratory technicians involved in chemical reaction analysis and stoichiometric calculations.

I am currently typing up my lab report for Chemistry but I've come across a question that I'm stuck on.

2. Using the data obtained in the experiment and the equation you balanced above, calculate the mass of the copper you originally reacted. Show all steps clearly and include all units.

Equation: Balanced

Cu (s) + 2AgNO3 ---> 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

Copper (before) .93 (g)
Silver (After) .17 (g)
Filter Paper (Alone) 1.47 (g)
Filter Paper and Silver 1.64 (g)

If you are able to help me in any way let me know or contact me please.

To help you, we need to first see some effort from you. What do you know about stoichiometry? If you translated the balanced equation into a regular English sentence, what would it look like?
