i think i remember the stoichiometry stuff from chem,  lets try

danjs · Answer

What is the balanced equation for this ?

anonymous · Answer

let me check

danjs · Answer

Al is +3 and sulfate is -2, Cu is +2

CuSO4 + Al = Cu + Al2(SO4)3

danjs · Answer

so balanced it is:

3 CuSO4 + 2 Al = 3 Cu + Al2(SO4)3

anonymous · Answer

oh okay i got that part

anonymous · Answer

i didnt mean to send that image

danjs · Answer

3 CuSO4 + 2 Al = 3 Cu + Al2(SO4)3

29 grams Al
156 grams CuSO4
-------------
? grams Cu 

One of the Reactants will limit the production of the Copper. Ill start, you calculate the molar mass for the three things here...  g/mol

danjs · Answer

insert the molar mass g/mol for the Al and the Cu
