Question

If you start with 10ml of 0.75 m cu(no3)2 how much cu (s) in grams should be recovered in step #7

Answer 1

0.48 grams. Not a well worded question since it's assuming I know the reactions. But I'll assume that since there's just 1 atom of copper per molecule of Cu(NO3)2, that the reaction will result in 1 atom of copper per molecule of Cu(NO3)2 used. With that in mind, we will have 0.010 l * 0.75 mol/l = 0.0075 moles of copper produced. To convert the amount in moles, multiply by the atomic weight of copper, which is 63.546 g/mol. So 0.0075 mol * 63.546 g/mol = 0.476595 g. Round the results to 2 significant figures, giving 0.48 grams.
