The atomic mass of an element is the number of times of an atom of that element is heavier than an atom of carbon taken as 12. In simpler way, atomic mass is number of protons present in nucleus of an atom, which is a characteristic of an chemical element and is determines place of the element in the periodic table. Mass number is total number of protons and neutrons. If an uncharged atom looses electron from its outermost shell, it becomes cation, which is positively charged species. Atomic number and mass number do not change if electron goes out of an atom.
Uncharged copper after loosing two electrons is converted to 
which can be represented as follows:

Answer: Strictly a laboratory analysis and can only be done using the data obtained during analysis
Explanation:
To find a solution to this problem, you need to use the data collected during the lab work. A guide could be finding the possible forms of hydrated copper chlorides in reference books. Since it's also a lab work, you can definitely compare your data with lab mates.
The formula CuxCly.zH₂O and its name chloride hydrate already gives you an idea of the possibilities of the value of the integers, hence you can take a good guess for the identity of the unknown salt and calculate the theoretical formular weight for it. From the that you can proceed to also find the mass of water and copper from your lab analysis.
Answer:
B. Atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.
Explanation:
The best statement that describes a change that occurs in a chemical reaction is that atoms in the original substances are arranged in a different way to make new substances.
- Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of matter.
- The law postulates that "matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction but they are simply rearranged".
- Therefore, atoms of compounds forms new bonds by rearranging to give a new product.
I know CL is chlorine and NA is sodium.
