    Answer:

    a. 4Cu + O₂ → 2Cu₂O

    b. 266g Cu

    c. 102g Cu₂O

    Explanation:

    Based on the balanced reaction:

    a. 4Cu + O₂ → 2Cu₂O

    4 moles of Cu reacts per mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of Cu₂O.

    b. To solve this question we need to find the moles of Cu₂O. With these moles and the balanced reaction we can find the moles of Cu and its mass:

    Moles Cu₂O -Molar mass: 143.09g/mol-

    300g Cu₂O * (1mol / 143.09g) = 2.097 moles Cu₂O

    Moles Cu:

    2.097 moles Cu₂O * (4mol Cu / 2mol Cu₂O) 4.193 moles Cu

    Mass Cu – Molar mass: 63.546g/mol-

    4.193 moles Cu * (63.546g / mol) = 266g Cu

    c. In the same way, using PV = nRT we can find the moles of Oxygen. With the moles of oxygen we can find the moles of Cu₂O and its mass:

    n = PV / RT

    P = 1atm at STP, V = 8.0L, R = 0.082atmL/molK, T = 273.15K at STP:

    n = 1atm*8.0L / 0.082atmL/molK*273.15K

    n = 0.357 moles O₂

    Moles Cu₂O:

    0.357 moles O₂ * (2mol Cu₂O / 1mol O₂) = 0.714 moles Cu₂O

    Mass Cu₂O -Molar mass: 143.09g/mol-

    0.714 moles Cu₂O * (143.09g/mol) =

    102g Cu₂O
