Explanation / Answer

Ans. Reaction 1. Cu(s) + HNO3 -----------> Cu(NO3)2

#1. Moles of Cu reacted = Mass / Formula mass = 0.9 g / (63.546 g/mol) = 0.001685 mol

#2. Atoms Cu reacted = Moles x Avogadro number

= 0.001685 mol x (6.022 x 1023 atom/ mol)

= 0.014 mol

#3. Moles of Cu(II) nitrate formed = Mass of Cu(II)nitrate produced / its molar mass

                                    = 146.4 g/(187.55588 g/ mol)

                                    = 0.780 mol

Note: moles of Cu(NO3)2 can’t be greater than moles of Cu(s) because 1 mol Cu produces 1 mol Cu(II) nitrate.

So, kindly recheck your values.

The further calculations are being made for explanation only, kindly put correct experimental values while you make calculation.

Reaction 2. Cu(NO3)2 + 2NaOH -----> Cu(OH)2 + 2NaNO3

#4. Moles of Cu(II) nitrate produced in beaker = 0.78 mol ; (from #3.)

#5. Note stoichiometry: 1 mol Cu(NO3)2 produces 2 mol nitrate ion.

So, moles of nitrate ion = 2 x mole of Cu(NO3)2

                                                = 2 x 0.78 mol = 1.56 mol

Reaction 3.

#6. Molar mass of Cu(OH)2= 97.56 g/mol

#7. Molar mass of CuO = 79.54 g/mol

#8. Moles of CuO = moles of Cu(OH2) = moles of Cu(NO3)2 produced

                        = 0.78 mol      ; [see stoichiometry of reaction 2]

#9. Mass of CuO recovered (theoretical yield) = Moles of CuO x Molar mass

                                    = 0.78 mol x (79.54 g/mol)

                                    = 62.04 g

Reaction 4: CuO + 2 HCl = CuCl2 + H2O

#10. Stoichiometry: 1 mol CuO requires 2 mol HCL for complete reaction.

            So, moles of HCl required = 2 x moles of CuO

                                    = 2 x 0.78 mol = 1.56 mol

#11. Stoichiometry: 1 mol CuO requires produces 1 mol CuCl2.

            So, moles of CuCl2 produced =- moles of CuO = 0.78 mol

Reaction .5.

#12. Moles of Al added = Mass/ Atomic mass

                                    = 0.92 g/ (26.98 g/mol) = 0.034 mol

#13. Atoms of Al = 0.034 mol x (6.022 x 1023 atom/ mol) = 2.05 x 1022 atoms

#14. Moles of Cu recovered = Moles of CuCl2 reacted = 0.78 mol

#14. Initial mole of Cu = 0.014 mol ; [see #2.]

Note: As mentioned in Notes, #3, there is error with recovered Cu(II)nitrate in the beaker. Please put correct experimental values to get correct outcomes.
