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

Answer 1

24g = 0.38 moles Cu
The equation tells you that you will get that many moles of CuNO3
so how many grams is that?

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

sorry - I was working with the rare copper mono-carbonate molecule ...
