CHEMISTRY | MOLE CONCEPT | Question 24


4.90g of copper (II) Oxide yielded 3.92g of copper when reduced by hydrogen gas.
Calculate the mass of copper (II) oxide required to yield 4g of copper. (Cu=64, O=16)


  • Data


    Mass1 of CuO = 4.90g
    Mass1 of Cu = 3.92g
    Mass2 of CuO = ?
    Mass2 of Cu = 4g

    To use mass equivalent between CuO and Cu produced
    4.90g CuO Ξ 3.92g Cu
    ?? CuO Ξ 4gCu

    = (4.9g × 4g) / 3.92g
    = 5.0g

    5.0g of copper (11) oxide (CUO) was used to form 4g
