We were able to ignore the terms on the right side of the equation because we know mass is conserved within the reaction. Also the conservation of atoms tells us that the ratio of moles of copper chloride to aluminum is constant. So given the amount of copper chloride that reacted, we could find the amount of aluminum that reacted. If all the aluminum dissolved and the liquid was still blue, we would know that aluminum was the limiting reagent. We would also be able to calculate the mass of the original aluminum wire if we were able to measure the mass of the leftover copper. By finding the ma...

Purpose To measure the solubility of the given substances (Ammonium Chloride, Potassium Nitrate, Sodium Chloride, Copper Carbonate, Iodine, Sugar, Wax, Sand, Oil, Starch) at various temperatures in water. Background Information Why water is an important solvent? Water is capable of dissolving a wide variety of different substances, which is why it is referred to as the universal solvent. Water is an excellent solvent because of its chemical composition and physical qualities. Polar arrangements of hydrogen and oxygen atoms are present in water molecules. Having positive electrical charges (hyd...
