WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST!!!!! will give brainliest!!!! ******According to the reaction in question I above, how many grams of solid copper will theoretically be

produced when 14.4 g of aluminum are reacted with 14.4 g of copper (II) sulfate? Which reactant is the

limiting reactant? Show your work. Be sure to include units!

Answer:

5.73 g Cu

Explanation:

M(CuSO4) = 159.6 g/mol

M(Al) = 27.0 g/mol

M(Cu) = 63.5 g/mol

14.4 g Al * 1 mol/27.0 g = 0.5333 mol Al

14.4 g CuSO4 * 1 mol/159.6 g = 0.0902 mol CuSO4

                                2 Al         +     3CuSO4 ------->  3Cu + Al2(SO4)3

from reaction           2 mol               3 mol

given                     (0.5333 mol )x       0.0902 mol

needed                   0.0601 mol

x= 2*0.0902/3 = 0.0601 mol   Al

Al is excess, CuSO4 is a limiting reactant.

                               2 Al         +     3CuSO4 ------->  3Cu + Al2(SO4)3

from reaction                               3 mol                  3 mol

given                                            0.0902 mol         x mol

x = 0.0902 mol Cu

0.0902 mol Cu * 1 mol/63.5 g Cu = 5.73 g Cu
