... up the sodium chloride (NaCl) for 5 minutes and discovered that nothing happened to it. Discussion Sodium chloride contains two charged particles, Na+ and Cl-. Cl- is missing one electron to get 8 electrons in its outer shell, and Na+ has one electron too much to reach its goals of 8 electrons. This creates an electrostatic attraction between the two particles, and Na+ gets an ... electron from Cl-. These ions will stay together by the electrostatic attraction because they are oppositely charged. This is called an ionic bonding, and in this case it is called NaCl. ... substance. As ex...

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...
