Question

A student performed the five step reaction to produce copper (I) chloride as outlined in the CHM 125 lab manual. The following reactions          were performed:

  1. Cu(s)   +      4 HNO3(aq) →    Cu(NO3)2 (aq)     +   2NO2 (g)     + 2 H2O (l)
  2. 2 HNO3(aq)   +    Na2CO3 (s)  →   H2O (l)    +  CO2 (g)  + 2 NaNO3 (aq)
  3. Cu(NO3)2(aq)    +  Na2CO3 (s) →   CuCO3 (s)   + 2NaNO3 (aq)
  4. CuCO3(s)    +   2 HCl (aq)  →   CuCl2 (aq)    +  H2O(l )  +  CO2 (g)
  5. CuCl2(aq)   +   Cu (s)   →    2 CuCl (s)

       The student weighed out 1.245 g of Cu (s) and added 5.3 mL of 15.8 M nitric acid. The student then added 3.911 g of Na2CO3 (s) to the             mixture to carry out reactions 2 and 3 at the same time. Based on this information and the reactions 1-5 answer the following questions:

  

         a.Using equation 1 calculate the total number of moles of HNO3 added. Next calculate how many moles of HNO3 were added in excess

 

 

  1.       Based on the moles of HNO3 calculated in the previous step and also the number of moles of Cu(NO3)2 produced in reaction 1 calculate          the total mass of Na2CO3 needed for steps 2 and 3. Was the amount of Na2CO3 added in excess or was it inadequate? By how much was it          in excess or limited?
