Answer:

The answer is

14.12 moles

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of moles of an element given the number of entities in the element we use the formula


n = (N)/(L) \\

where n is the number of moles

N is the number of entities

L is the Avogadro's constant which is

6.02 × 10²³ entities

From the question

N = 8.5 × 10²⁴ atoms of copper

We have


n = \frac{8.5 * {10}^(24) }{6.02 * {10}^(23) } \\ = 14.11960132...

We have the final answer as

14.12 moles

Hope this helps you
