The copper is found in the form of cupric oxide. What mass of CUPRIC OXIDE is contained in each tablet?

Answer:

Cupric oxide = CuO 200 mg copper = .2 grams copper molar mass of copper = 63.54. .2/63.54 = 0.0031476235442241107963487566887 moles of Cu molar mass of CuO = 79.54. Moles of Cu = Moles CuO 79.54 * molar mass = 0.25036197670758577274158010696352 In other words, about 250 milligrams of CUPRIC OXIDE. If the 200 mg of copper is per tablet, my answer is per tablet.
