dent performing this experiment mistakenly used 6.0mL of 0.18g of solid copper, instead of the 4.0mL described in the lab manual. What volume in milliliters of 6.0M NaOH are required to neutralize the excess acid. Hint: if you write the complete molecular equation, rather than the net ionic equation, the stoichiometry shows that eight moles of nitric acid reacts with three moles of elemental copper.] 1. A stu 6 M HNO, to dissolve 2. At the beginning of step 2, you added aqueous sodium hydroxide to the solution to neutralize excess nitric acid and precipitate copper(I) hydroxide after the litmus paper indicates a basic solution. Draw a beaker diagram showing all species present in the beaker.
