If you reacted 183 grams of copper sulfate with excess iron, what mass of copper would you expect to make? You may need to balance the equation first.

The question does not provide the equation

Answer:-

72.89 grams

Explanation:-

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

CuSO4 + Fe - -> FeSO4 + Cu

Molecular weight of CuSO4 = 63.55 x 1 + 32 x 1 + 16 x 4

= 159.55 gram

Atomic weight of Cu = 63.55 gram.

According to the balanced chemical equation

1 CuSO4 gives 1 Cu

∴159.55 gram of CuSO4 would give 63.55 gram of Cu.

183 gram of CuSO4 would give 63.55 x 183 / 159.55

= 72.89 grams of Cu
