The balanced equation is [tex]\bold{CuCo_3= CuO+ CO_2}[/tex]
The number of moles of copper is 18.86 mol CuO.
The mass of copper is 2.330 kg CuCO3.
What is copper carbonate?
Copper carbonate is an ionic compound which is properly called copper carbonate hydroxide.
Calculating the moles of Cu
[tex]\bold{1.500\times\dfrac{1.000}{1\;kg} \times\dfrac{1\;mol\;CuCO_3}{79.5\;g\;CuO} = 18.86\;mol\;CuO }[/tex]
Calculating the mass
[tex]\bold{1.500\times\dfrac{1.000}{1\;kg} \times\dfrac{123.5\;g\;CuCO_3}{79.5\;g\;CuO} = 2.330\;g\;CuO }[/tex]
Thus, the number of moles and mass of copper(II) carbonate needed are 18.86 mol CuO and 2.330 g CuO respectively.
