How much copper is in 4.722 mol of copper(II)
chloride?
Answer in units of g
What should I do?
To determine the amount of copper in 4.722 mol of copper(II) chloride, you need to multiply the number of moles of copper by its molar mass. Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Look up the molar mass of copper(II) chloride, which consists of one copper atom (Cu) and two chlorine atoms (Cl).
- The molar mass of copper is 63.546 g/mol.
- The molar mass of chlorine is 35.453 g/mol.
2. Calculate the molar mass of copper(II) chloride:
- Copper: 1 atom x molar mass of copper = 1 x 63.546 g/mol
- Chlorine: 2 atoms x molar mass of chlorine = 2 x 35.453 g/mol
Add the calculated molar masses together to get the molar mass of copper(II) chloride in g/mol.
3. Multiply the molar mass of copper(II) chloride by the number of moles:
- 4.722 mol x molar mass of copper(II) chloride in g/mol = (resultant value) g
Performing these calculations will provide you with the amount of copper in 4.722 mol of copper(II) chloride in grams.
