Copper (II) Chloride and Iron Lab Day 2

Today we filtered out the fluid leftover. That left the copper. We then proceeded to mix in hydrogen chloride to help clean out the remaining copper. I was surprised to see how much copper was there after 24 hours. We left the copper out to dry until Tuesday when we will weigh the copper. We applied what we have learned all this time in the unit stoichiometry. We calculated the theoretical mass and on Tuesday we will divide the actual by the theoretical to get the percent yield.
