Large amounts of titanium metal are refined by reacting titanium(III) chloride solution with magnesium metal. To test this refining process, a student reacts 1.55 kg of magnesium metal with excess titanium(III) chloride solution. After the reaction was complete, the student had extracted 1.62 kg of titanium metal. From this data, calculate the percent error of this experiment. Hint: Write a balanced chemical reaction equation and calculate theoretical mass first. Do not show your work in the space provided. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units. Answer: Evaluate your calculated percent error. Is this an acceptable percent error?

A student places 1.520 grams of copper wire along with excess sulfur into a crucible (and cover), which weighs 18.030 g empty. The contents are heated mildly for five minutes to allow all the copper to react. The contents are then heated to glowing red heat for another five minutes to remove excess sulfur. The crucible and contents are cooled to room temperature. Calculate the mass of the excess sulfur (prior to its removal) if 0.4546 g of sulfur was put into the crucible at the start of the reaction. Molar Mass Cu: 63.55 g/mole Molar Mass S: 32.10 g/mole
