In this assignment, you will predict the products of a chemical reaction and explain why you made this prediction. You will use what you have learned about atoms, bonding, and the organization of the periodic table in your explanation. You will then review and revise your prediction and explanation based on some additional information.

Idid a lab for chemistry where we put nails in a copper (ii) chloride solution. 1. why did the reaction stop? which reactant was used up? how do you know? 2. describe what was happening to the atoms of iron and copper during the reaction. what is this type of reaction called? 3. what would happen to the ratio of copper to iron if you had placed more nails in the beaker? if you had let the reaction go for less time? 4. what is the accepted ratio of copper atoms to iron atoms in this reaction? account for differences between your experimental value and the accepted value. write the balanced equation for the reaction.
