To determine the number of grams of copper that will be produced from an oxidation reduction reaction when you know the mass of aluminum that reacted with a known amount of copper II sulfate pentahydrate and to compare this to the actual yield of copper.
Matrials and Setup:
You will obtain a measured sample of aluminum foil and a measured amount of copper sulfate pentahydrate. you will then react the two in an aqueous medium within a medium sized beaker; stirring frequently. You will filter, dry, and weigh the resulting product.
Procedure:
- Mixed Copper II Sulfate with water then heated itand stirred until all of the pieces disolved.
- Mixed in the Aluminum with the Copper II Sulfate mixture.
