A student weighed out 1.0093g of copper sulfate pentahydrate and 2.4780g potassium oxalate monohydrate made them react and isolated the product.
This is the provided balanced equation:
CuSO4*5H2O(aq)+2K2C2O4-H2O--->K2[Cu(C2O4)2]*2H2O(s)+K2SO4(aq)+5H2O
a) calculate the molar mass of copper sulfate pentahydrate, potassium oxalate monohydrate.
b) calculate the moles of each reagent based on the mass weighed out for each.
c) Determine which is the limiting reagent.
d) Calculate the molar mass of potassium dioxalatocuprate(II) dihydrate.
