<span>In order to solve this problem you must first make sure all your numbers are in like terms. From the density value you can see that it is grams per liter. The first conversion you must do in convert the 125.0 mL value to Liters which you would do by dividing by 1000 because 1 liter is equal to 1000 mL. 125.0 divided by 1000 is 0.125 Liter. Now you will use the density equation to solve. The density equation is density is equal to mass divided by volume. Plug in your known numbers for density and volume. Then solve for mass. So Density (1.269 g/l is equal to mass divided by volume (.125 Liter) You must rearrange the equation to multiple density by volume which is 1.269 times 0.125 which will give you 0.1586. Because the Liters cancel each other out, the answer's unit will be grams. Your final answer is 0.1586 grams.</span>

Hello!
In this case, since the chemical reaction between copper and nitric acid is:

By starting with 0.80 g of copper metal (molar mass = 63.54 g/mol) and considering the 1:1 mole ratio between copper and copper (II) nitrate (molar mass = 187.56 g/mol) we can compute that mass via stoichiometry as shown below:

However, the real reaction between copper and nitric acid releases nitrogen oxide, yet it does not modify the calculations since the 1:1 mole ratio is still there:
