Copper Sulfate Pentahydrate Lab Report

323 Words1 Page

In this lab, iron filings and copper sulfate pentahydrate were chemically reacted to produce iron sulfate and copper.
One of the main points of this lab is to learn the general process of a chemical reaction and the significance of the chemical equation. Through this lab, students were able to write a balanced chemical equation based on given reactants and products. After the reaction was finished and the results were recorded, students were then able to calculate the excess reactant and the limiting reactant and determine the maximum amount of copper that could be produced. With this information, percent error could then be calculated based on the actual yield and what theoretically should have been yielded.
The final results found that 2.55
