How many grams are there in 2.00 moles of copper (ii) oxide

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
