Learning to calculate the metrics of chemical equations is a main challenge in chemistry. The reaction between copper(II) chloride dihydrate and aluminum must occur in an aqueous environment...true, but the masses of each individual reactant and the volume of water must be known to dissect the reaction mixture and any left over reactants, as well as the concentration of ions in the solution.
The following amount of copper(II) chloride dihydrate and aluminum were combined, in a specified volume of water.
Mass CuCl2 . 2H2O = (2.00x10^0) g
Mass Aluminum = (1.0x10^-1) g
Volume of water = (9.700x10^1) mL
Molar mass of copper = 63.55 g/mol
Molar Mass of aluminum = 27.00 g/mol
Molar Mass of copper(II) chloride dihydrate= 170.45 g/mol
