Using the moles of iron lost by the nails (.0731 moles) and stoichiometry, calculate the mass of copper that should be produced. Use the moles of iron lost by the nails (.0731) x mole ratio (Cu/Fe) x molar mass Cu.

I just need someone to write out the equation because i'm completely lost. I will award medals!

What reaction is this? Where is the equation?

anonymous · Answer

Fe + CuCl2 > Cu + FeCl2

wolfe8 · Answer

That kind of makes sense. So what equation do you need?

anonymous · Answer

I need the Cu/Fe equation. Would I just use the coefficients (technically there are none) from the equation i gave you?

wolfe8 · Answer

Yup if I understand correctly from your statement since you did not provide the full situation. The ratio is 1:1 then.
