Answer:
0.0939 moles Cu
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the amount of copper in moles, you need to multiply the given mass (g) by the atomic mass (g/mol) of copper. The atomic mass is a ratio which represents the mass of copper per every 1 mole. The ratio should be arranged in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (grams should be in the denominator to cancel the units of the starting mass). The final answer should have 3 sig figs like the given value (5.97 g = 3 sig figs).
Atomic Mass (Cu): 63.546 g/mol
5.97 g Cu 1 mole
