a) Balance the equation for the reaction below. Al +_CuCl2 > _AICI, + Cu b) In the space provided, indicate the order of the procedures to complete the experiment. Rinse the copper precipitate with water. Use graduated cylinder to measure 100mL of CuCl2. After the reaction occurs, pour the products into funnel and filter paper to filter out solid copper. Use the digital scale to determine mass of filter paper. Weigh aluminum using digital scale. Calculate the number of grams of aluminum needed to produce 1.7 grams of Cu. Use scale to determine the mass of the copper and the filter paper. Subtract mass of filter paper to find total mass of copper produced. Use stirring rod to stir aluminum and CuC2 until all of the aluminum reacts. Add aluminum to CuC2 solution. Dry copper overnight.
States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
An experiment is to be performed to produce 1.7g of copper using aluminum foil and copper (II) chloride as reactants.
![An experiment is to be performed to produce 1.7g of copper using aluminum foil and

![c. Indicate errors that would cause the final mass to be greater than expected.
Used more than 100 mL of CuCl2.
Did not rinse Cu precipitate.
Used less Al then the amount calculated.
Product not dried completely.
4. In relation to number 3, how would these errors affect the percent yield in the
experiment?](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F16b9ab06-d8df-4b6b-b8dd-dbce95c3faf7%2F83e6264d-cad3-4d9e-b03a-00282f5a4b58%2Fmyanokp_processed.png&w=3840&q=75)
