    2.94x10²² atoms of Cu

    Explanation:

    We must work with NA to solve this, where NA is the number of Avogadro, number of particles of 1 mol of anything.

    Molar mass Cu = 63.55 g/mol

    Mass / Molar mass = Mol → 3.11 g / 63.55 g/m = 0.0489 moles

    1 mol of Cu has 6.02x10²³ atoms of Cu

    0.0489 moles of Cu, will have (0.0489. NA) / 1 = 2.94x10²² atoms of Cu
