Copper reacts with nitric acid according to the equation 3Cu(s)+8HNO3-->3CuNO3 +2NO +4H2O.calculate mass of copper nitrate produced when 24g of copper reacts with nitric acid
Answered by oobleck
24g = 0.38 moles Cu
The equation tells you that you will get that many moles of CuNO3
so how many grams is that?

oops. oobleck's answer needs to be modified but not because he did anything wrong. oobleck's work is OK; however, the equation is not balanced so the numbers don't work out. Here is the correctly balanced equation.
3Cu(s) + 8HNO3 --> 3Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO +4H2O.
