Respuesta :

the molar mass of CuCl2 is 134.45 g/mol; therefore, you divide 2.5 g of CuCl2 by 134.45 g of CuCl2 leaving you with 0.019 moles

Explanation:

Number of moles is defined as the mass of substance given in grams divided by the molar mass of substance.

It is given that mass of [tex]CuCl_{2}[/tex] is 2.50 g and molar mass of [tex]CuCl_{2}[/tex] is 134.45 g/mol.

Therefore, calculate number of moles as follows.

      Number of moles of [tex]CuCl_{2} = \frac{mass}{molar mass}[/tex]

                                        = [tex]\frac{2.50 g}{134.45 g/mol}[/tex]

                                         = 0.0186 mol

                                         = 0.019 mol (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that 2.50 g CuCl2 equals 0.019 moles (approx).
