    18.58 moles of Cu

    Solution:

    Data Given:

    Chemical Formula of Tennantite = Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃

    Mass of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ = 2290 g

    M. Mass of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ = 1479.06 g. mol⁻¹

    Step 1: Calculate Moles of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ as,

    Moles = Mass : M. Mass

    Putting values,

    Moles = 2290 g : 1479.06 g. mol⁻¹

    Moles = 1.548 mol

    Step 2: Calculate Moles of Cu,

    As,

    1 mole of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ contains = 12 moles of Cu

    So,

    1.548 mol of Cu₁₂As₄S₁₃ will contain = X moles of Cu

    Solving for X,

    X = (1.548 mol * 12 mol) : 1 mol

    X = 18.58 moles of Cu
