Answer: 0.0016 moles of copper are present in copper gluconate
Explanation:
The number of moles is defined as the ratio of the mass of a substance to its molar mass.
The equation used is:
[tex]\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}[/tex] ......(1)
Given mass of copper = 0.1 g
Molar mass of copper = 63.55 g/mol
Plugging values in equation 1:
[tex]\text{Moles of copper}=\frac{0.1g}{63.55g/mol}=0.0016 mol[/tex]
Hence, 0.0016 moles of copper are present in copper gluconate
