Problem: What is the ratio of moles of Copper formed to moles of Iron reacted in the chemical reaction described below?
To find the answer to this question our group placed an Iron nail in a solution of Cupric Chloride after measuring the filter paper and mass of the nail. We observed an immediate change in the color of the nail; it turned a rusty red. We learned that the iron was dissolving. These dissolved iron particles will combine to form Ferric Chloride. After, we removed the nail form the solution and dried it then we transfered the solution in to a separate beaker using filter paper. We measured the mass of the nail. It took a long time for the solution to filter. We determined the mass of Iron consumed by comparing the mass of the nail before and after the reaction. After the solution had filtered we transferred the Ferric Chloride and the filter paper to dry in the drying oven. We have yet to measure its mass then we can determine the mass mass of the Ferric Chloride formed.
