Iron reacts with copper (I) sulfate to produce copper and iron (II) sulfate. If 4.32x10^25
particles of copper (I) sulfate react, how many moles of copper will be produced?
Fe + Cu2504 --> FeSO4 + 2Cu

Respuesta :

Answer: 143.48 moles of copper will be produced.

Explanation:

We are given:

Number of particles of copper (I) sulfate = [tex]4.32\times 10^{25}[/tex]

According to the mole concept:

[tex]6.022\times 10^{23}[/tex] number of particles is contained in 1 mole of a compound

So, [tex]4.32\times 10^{25}[/tex] number of particles will be contained in = [tex]\frac{1}{6.022\times 10^{23}}\times 4.32\times 10^{25}=71.74mol[/tex] of copper (I) sulfate

The given chemical equation follows:

[tex]Fe+Cu_2SO_4\rightarrow FeSO_4+2Cu[/tex]

By the stoichiometry of the reaction:

If 1 mole of copper (I) sulfate produces 2 moles of Cu

So, 71.74 moles of copper (I) sulfate will produce = [tex]\frac{2}{1}\times 71.74=143.48mol[/tex] of Cu

Hence, 143.48 moles of copper will be produced.
