A chemist wants to extract copper metal from copper chloride solution. The chemist places 1. 50 grams of aluminum foil in a solution of 14 grams of copper (II) chloride. A single replacement reaction takes place. What best explains the state of the reaction mixture after the reaction?


Unbalanced equation: CuCl2 + Al → AlCl3 + Cu


Less than 6. 0 grams of copper is formed, and some aluminum is left in the reaction mixture.

More than 6. 5 grams of copper is formed, and some aluminum is left in the reaction mixture.

Less than 6. 0 grams of copper is formed, and some copper chloride is left in the reaction mixture.
