aaronq · Answer

what experiment did you do?

anonymous · Answer

iron nails in 1M CuCl2•2H20 giving an hour for reactant time. . . i really just need to know if rounding up to 3 from 2.826 is acceptable or not

aaronq · Answer

it's about 6% of the total mass.. so i think it'd be fine, but then again I'm not your teacher

aaronq · Answer

sorry i said mass and i meant moles
