Copper dissolved in nitric acid produces copper(II)nitrate. After reaction with sodium hydroxide and heating, copper nitrate changed to copper(II)oxide. Calculate the percent yield of this process if 1.1140 g of copper produced 1.2431 g of copper oxide. Show all calculations. If your answer is not 100%, explain.
Copper reacts with nitric acid to form copper(II) nitrate. Copper(II) nitrate reacts with sodium hydroxide to form copper(II) hydroxide.
Copper (II) hydroxide undergoes decomposition to form copper(II) oxide.
In overall reaction one mole Cu and one mole CuO present.
The chemical equations as follows:
