Step-by-step explanation:

Number of moles is defined as the mass of substance given in grams divided by the molar mass of substance.

It is given that mass of
CuCl_(2) is 2.50 g and molar mass of
CuCl_(2) is 134.45 g/mol.

Therefore, calculate number of moles as follows.

Number of moles of
CuCl_(2) = (mass)/(molar mass)

=
(2.50 g)/(134.45 g/mol)

= 0.0186 mol

= 0.019 mol (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that 2.50 g CuCl2 equals 0.019 moles (approx).
