How much copper can be obtained from 100 g of copper sulphate (CuSO4)? 

Solution

1 mole of CuSO4 contains 1 g atom of Cu.
Now molar mass of CuSO= 63.5 + 32 + 4 x 16 =159.5 g mol-1
Cu that can be obtained from 159.5 g of CuSO4 = 63.5 g
therefore   Cu that can be obtained from 100 g of CuSO
fraction numerator 63.5 over denominator 159.5 end fraction cross times 100 = 39.81 g
