GCSE chemistry homework; mole calculations:

1: Calculate what mass of carbon you would need to reduce 15.9g of copper(II) oxide to copper by the reaction:

CuO + C –> Cu + CO

what steps do i take? i have the amount of moles for CuO by uusing moles=mass/Mr, but then what do i do…?

Cu = 63.5
C = 12
O = 16

now what?

i get 80g of CuO needed to make 15gs of C
but i rounded Cu to 63.5
(i could be completly wrong)
good luck

CuO= 63.5+ 16=79.5

if you want only 15.9 then 15.9/79.5=0.2
or 1/5 mole

then 1/5 mole of carbon is 12/5=2.4

you need 2.4grams of carbon to do this reaction.
