Question

Theoretically, how many moles of malachite should be formed when 1.5 moles of copper sulfate reacts completely with an excess of sodium carbonate?

Given:

  1. Measured Mass of CuSO4.5H2O                         12.249 g                   
  2. Molar mass of CuSO4.5H2O                                249.685 g/mol         
  3. Moles CuSO4 .5H2O dissolved in reaction mixture
    (Entry 1 divided by Entry 2)                                 0.049057813 mol
  4. Moles of CuSO4 reacted
    (Same as Entry 3)                                               0.049057813 mol
  5. Mole to mole ratio of Cu2(OH)2CO3 produced
    to CuSO4 reacted from balanced chemical
    equation (see above)                                          1 : 2  mol     
                 
  6. Theoretical moles Cu2(OH)2CO3 produced
      (Entry 4 times Entry 5)                                       0.024528907 mol

  7. Molar mass of Cu2(OH)2CO3                                221.11558 g/mol
  8. Theoretical mass Cu2(OH)2CO3 produced 
    (Entry 6 times Entry 7)                                         5.423723388 g
