Question

If a sample of copper is 215g, how many moles of copper atoms are in the sample?

Answer 1

3.38 moles.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass of copper (Cu) = 215 g

Number of mole of copper (Cu) =...?

The number of mole of copper (Cu) in 215 g can be obtained as follow:

Mass of copper (Cu) = 215 g

Molar mass of copper (Cu) = 63.55 g/mol

Number of mole of copper (Cu) =...?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of Cu = 215/63.55

Mole of Cu = 3.38 moles

Therefore, 3.38 moles of copper (Cu) is present in the sample.
