Chem HW - CALCULATIONS OF COPPER CYCLE LABORATORY

The Copper Cycle Diagram:  One way to summarize the Copper Cycle Laboratory is to follow the procedure as an actual cycle using this graphic.  Review this cycle and complete the table below.

I decided to show the work in the table so that it makes more sense logically.

Cycle Step Chemical Name Chemical Formula Element or Compound? Mass Molar Mass Calculated Moles Calculated Number of Particles
Initially, you measured 0.10 g of copper powder. copper Cu Element 0.10g \(\(Cu(63.546AMU) = 63.546 \frac{g}{mol}\)\) \(\(\frac{0.10 g}{63.546 \frac{g}{mol}} = 0.00157 mol\)\) \(\(0.00157 mol * 6.02* 10^{23} = 9.4514 * 10^{20}\)\)
In step 2, 0.25 g of copper (II) hydroxide was made. copper (II) hydroxide Cu(OH)2 Compound 0.25g \(\(Cu(63.546AMU) + 2O(15.999AMU) + 2H(1.008) = 97.561 \frac{g}{mol}\)\) \(\(\frac{0.25 g}{97.561 \frac{g}{mol}} = 0.00256 mol\)\) \(\(0.00256 mol * 6.02* 10^{23} = 1.54122 * 10^{21}\)\)
In step 3, 0.20 g of a black powder called copper (II) oxide was made. copper (II) oxide CuO Compound 0.20g \(\(Cu(63.546AMU) + O(15.999AMU) + 79.545 \frac{g}{mol}\)\) \(\(\frac{0.20 g}{79.545 \frac{g}{mol}} = 0.00251 mol\)\) \(\(0.00251 mol * 6.02* 10^{23} = 1.51102 * 10^{21}\)\)
In step 5, you added 0.10 g Zn filings. zinc Zn Element 0.10g \(\(Zn(65.38AMU) = 65.38 \frac{g}{mol}\)\) \(\(\frac{0.10 g}{65.38 \frac{g}{mol}} = 0.00152 mol\)\) \(\(0.00152 mol * 6.02* 10^{23} = 9.1504 * 10^{20}\)\)
