Question

Suppose you did not allow the reaction of copper chloride solution and aluminum to go to completion. How would that affect your results? How would that affect your calculation of the empirical formula? Be specific

Expert Solution

Step 1

The empirical formula of any given compound can be explained as the simplest positive integer ratio of its constituent atoms. For a product formed in a reaction, if the mass of the product compound and mass percentages of the individual elements within the product compound is known, then by estimating the mole ratio among the constituent elements, the empirical formula can be estimated.
