what is the molecular mass of copper oxide in step-by-step.
Answers
Explanation:
molecular mass of copper oxide I have make this as a project but I do not know how to send pictures
Answer:
79.5 g or 80 g
Explanation:
Gram molecular weight(GMW) or the molecular mass is calculated by adding the atomic mass of each element of the given compound.
I ll give you an example to understand this better:
Eg : Find molecular mass of CaCl2. (calcium chloride)
[ Atomic mass of Ca= 40 and Cl= 35.5]
sol: CaCl2
= 40 + (2 x 35.5) [don't forget to add them and not multiply] [ 2 is written in this step because there are two atoms of chlorine] [similarly, if there is only one atom of chlorine we should not multiply with 2]
= 40 + 71
= 111 g (in grams)
Now, try your question and view my answer to check

Now, coming to your question,
copper oxide's formula is CuO
Therefore, to find molecular formula of CuO
CuO [atomic mass of Cu= 64 and atomic mass of oxygen= 16]
= 64+ 16
= 80 g (approx)(in grams)
Hope it helps:)
