    Answer is: mass of copper is 127 grams.

    Balanced chemical reaction: Cu (s) + 2AgNO₃ (aq) → Cu (NO₃) ₂ (aq) + 2Ag (s).

    m (Ag) = 432 g.

    n (Ag) = m (Ag) : M (Ag).

    n (Ag) = 432 g : 108 g/mol.

    n (Ag) = 4 mol.

    From chemical reaction: n (Ag) : n (Cu) = 2 : 1.

    n (Cu) = 4 mol : 2 = 2 mol.

    m (Cu) = n (Cu) · M (Cu).

    m (Cu) = 2 mol · 63.5 g/mol.

    m (Cu) = 127 g.
