Answer: 159 grams
Explanation:
Copper (ii) oxide has the chemical formula CuO.
Now given that:
Mass of CuO in grams = ? (let unknown value be Z)
Number of moles = 2.00 moles
Molar mass of CuO = ?
For the molar mass of CuO: Atomic mass of Copper = 63.5g ; Oxygen = 16g
= 63.5g + 16g
= 79.5 g/mol
Apply the formula:
Number of molecules = (mass in grams/molar mass)
2.00 moles = (Z / 79.5 g/mol)
Z = 79.5 g/mol x 2.00 moles
Z = 159g
Thus, there are 159 grams in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide
