Answer:

The answer to your question is letter a. 65.13%

Explanation:

Percent composition of Copper in Cu(OH)₂

Process

1.- Calculate the molecular weight of Copper hydroxide

Cu(OH)₂ = 64 + (16 x 2) + (2 x 1)

              = 64 + 32 + 2

              = 98 g

2.- Solve the problem using proportions

                       98 g of Cu(OH)₂  ---------------  100 %

                       64 g of Cu           ----------------   x

                           x = (64 x 100) / 98

                           x = 6400 / 98

                           x = 65.2 %
