Question

I shouldn't overheats there a beaker during the dehydration of the cover salt creating black CuO and Cl how will this errior change the mass of copper?

Expert Solution

Step 1: Error in the Dehydration Process

Answer :----

During the dehydration of the copper chloride to form black copper oxide (CuO) and chlorine gas (Cl₂) and overheating the beaker and it can introduce an error.

Now, overheating it can lead to the loss of the volatile compounds like CuCl₂ and Cl₂ and it is due to the excessive heat and impacting the reaction's completeness.

Therefore, this can result in the loss of these volatile compounds from the reaction mixture and it reducing the overall yield of CuO and altering the expected outcome of the reaction.
