Hi, I am getting really conused and any help would be much appreciated.
Last week in the lab, we prepared trans-bis(glycinato)copper(II) monohydrate. The equation for the reaction was:
[Cu(CH3COO)2 ]H20 + 2NH2CH2COOH ---> [Cu(NH2CH2COO)2]H20 + 2CH3COOH
On the product side, the molecualr weight of the copper acetate monohydrate is 199.644, and the molecular weight of the glycine is 75.07.
When we prepared it we used 2.06g copper acetata monohydrate(10mmol) and 3.067g glycine(40mmol). Which I then calculated as being 0.0103mol copper acetate monohydrate and 0.0409mol glycine
The weight of the product we made was 1.52g
I am just having problems figuring out the mass of the product I was supposed to get. Do I start with a mole ratio?
Thanks for the help.
