Question
1.3g of copper (II) chloride was dissolved in water and a 0.50g of Al was placed in the solution. The blue
color of copper (II) chloride soon faded, and a red precipitate of solid copper was observed. After the blue
color has disappeared completely, the leftover aluminum wire (excess) was removed from the solution.
From the experiment, the mass of the solid copper was weighed (0.13g).
1. Write out the reactants and products and balance the equation.
2. What is the limiting and excess reactant? Show all work.
3. What is the theoretical yield of Cu?
