Stoichiometry of a Double Displacement Reaction The objective of this lab is to find the percent yield of a product of a double displacement reaction. Procedure: Refer to handout entitled “Stoichiometry of a Double Displacement Reaction” Materials: Refer to handout entitled “Stoichiometry of a Double Displacement Reaction” Data & Observations: Data Table Calculated Molar Mass of CuSO4•5H2O 249.677 g Calculated Molar Mass of CuO 79.545 g Starting mass of CuSO4•5H2O 2.050 g Mass of 100-ml beaker and filter paper 52.600 g Mass of 100-ml beaker, filter paper, and CuO precipitate 53.450 g Calculations: a. Theoretical yield of CuO 2.050 g CuSO4•5H2O x (1 mol CuSO4•5H2O ÷ 249.677 g CuSO4•5H2O) x (1 mol CuO ÷ 1 mol CuSO4•5H2O) x (79.545 g CuO …show more content…

The reaction should then occur. Next, we heated all the products to the boiling point and covered it so that none of the resulting products left the beaker. This caused another chemical reaction, which lead the copper(II) hydroxide created in the last reaction to decompose into copper(II) oxide and water. Last, in order to calculate how much copper(II) oxide was created, we needed to separate it from the water which we did by putting all the products through filter paper so the water was drained out. To make sure all the water was separated, we heated the filtered copper(II) oxide in an oven before weighing the precipitate we ended with. Then, with the mass we calculated, we compared it with what it should have been to reach a percent yield. The percent yield we reached was 130% yield which is clearly much more than the perfect 100% yield. Oddly, the yield was greater than 100%, meaning that we ended with more copper(II) oxide than should have been possible considering how much copper(II) sulfate we started the reaction with. We indeed did have an experimental yield of 0.850 g which is almost two hundredths of a gram larger than the theoretical yield of 0.6531 g. This would be considered rather unsuccessful as a result of the almost impossible

    An error that could have been present during the lab includes not letting the zinc react completely with the chloride ions by removing the penny too early from the solution. For instance, the percent error of this lab was 45.6%, which was determined by the subtraction of the theoretical percent of Cu 2.5% and the experimental percent of Cu 3.64% and dividing by the theoretical percent of Cu 2.5%. This experiment showed how reactants react with one another in a solution to drive a chemical reaction and the products that result from the

    In order to begin this experiment, first one must find the balanced chemical equation for the reaction which occurs between the aluminum and copper (II) chloride. This balanced equation being 2Al(s)+3CuCl2 (aq)3Cu(s)+2AlCl3 (aq). After finding this equation, one must use the process of stoichiometry in order to find how many grams of aluminum are needed in order to produce 0.15 grams of copper. In this experiment, the purpose was to produce between 0.1 and 0.2 grams of copper, so one should attempt to produce 0.15 grams of copper seeing as it is the average of those two numbers. The first step in the stoichiometric process which one has to complete is finding how many grams of copper are in one mole of copper.

    In order to find the amount of a product made during a double displacement reaction, the product has to be separated from the solution. From this number of moles of precipitate can be calculated. From there the number of moles of reactants can be calculated using the mole ratios of the particular reaction that occurred. As seen in Table 5 it is shown that by finding out the number of moles of the unknown, the molar mass of the unknown can be calculated. From the found mass of the unknown compound, the mound of the original ion can be found.

    This lab’s end result was to correctly identify each unknown solution using prior knowledge of chemical properties and the results of the first experiment conducted. Unknown solution D was the only colored solution, being blue while the others were clear. This made it easy to then match D up to Copper Sulfate because of its color. As unknown A and B were added together, lots of gaseous bubbles formed and revealed the fact that that reaction was the reaction between Hydrochloric Acid and Sodium Carbonate because it was the only reaction that produced a gas release. Unknown A and C produced the only yellow, brown precipitate just as the reaction between Sodium Carbonate and Silver Nitrate had previously.

    Stoichiometry is a method used in chemistry that involves using relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction, to determine a desired quantitative data. The purpose of the lab was to devise a method to determine the percent composition of NaHCO3 in an unknown mixture of compounds NaHCO3 and Na2CO. Heating the mixture of these two compounds will cause a decomposition reaction. Solid NaHCO3 chemically decomposes into gaseous carbon dioxide and water, via the following reaction: 2NaHCO3(s) Na2CO3(s) + H2O(g) + CO2(g). The decomposition reaction was performed in a crucible and heated with a Bunsen burner.

    The percent recovery of the copper was calculated using the equation, percent recovery = (the mass of the copper recovered after all the chemical reactions/the initial mass of the copper) x 100. The amount of copper that was recovered was 0.32 grams and the initial mass of the copper was 0.46 grams. Using the equation, (0.32 grams/0.46 grams) x 100 equaled 69.56%. The amount of copper recovered was slightly over two-thirds of the initial amount.
