Copper reacts with oxygen to produce copper oxide.
2Cu+O2→2CuO2\text{Cu} + \text{O}_2 \rightarrow 2\text{CuO}2Cu+O2→2CuO
A student heats 12.7 g of copper with 4.80 g of oxygen.
Relative atomic masses (ArA_rAr): O=16\text{O} = 16O=16, Cu=63.5\text{Cu} = 63.5Cu=63.5
Calculate the maximum mass of copper oxide that could be produced.
Calculate the mass of oxygen remaining at the end of the reaction.
