How to calculate the moles of CuSO4 using the equation in the picture

Answer 1

To calculate the number of moles we can use molarity, molarity relates the number of moles of solute to one liter of solution.

So we can replace molarity with:

$1.0M=\frac{1\text{mol solute}}{1L\text{ solution}}$

In this case, the solute is CuSO4. We replace in the equation:

$\frac{1molCuSO_4}{1L}\times108mL\times\frac{1L}{1000mL}=0.108molCuSO_4$

So, the moles of CuSO4 are 0.108 moles
