A chemist wants to extract copper metal from copper chioride solution. The chemist places 0.50 grams of aluminum foil in a solution containing 0.75 grams of copper (1) chloride. A single replacement reaction takes place. Which statement explains the maximum amount of copper that the chemist can extract using this reaction?
Unbalanced equation: CuCh + AI -+ AICl3 + Cu
A) Approximately 0.36 grams, because copper (II) chioride acts as a limiting reactant
B) Approximately 1.8 grams, because copper (I) chloride acts as a limiting reactant
C) Approximately 0.36 grams, because aluminum acts as a limiting reactant
D) Approximately 1.8 grams, because aluminum acts as a limiting reactant
