Astudent heats 3.55 grams of copper and 4.60 grams of iodine for 6.25 grams of a new compound. all of the iodine reacted, but there is still some copper left over unused. how much copper is left?

This item can be answered by using the concept of material balance. The amount of substance used for the reaction should be the same before and after the reaction occurred. 

Amount of reactants = 3.55 grams + 4.60 grams = 8.15 grams

We are also given that the amount of product accounted for is only 6.25 grams, this entails that not all copper was reacted. Subtracting this value from 8.15 g will give us an answer of 1.9 grams. 

1.9 g of copper

Ithink this is what you meant. the temperature at which a liquid begins to boil is called the boiling point. the boiling point of water is 212°f or 100°c.  and at that point will start to turn into steam (gas)
