  1. 2.15 g @ 1 mole Cu / 63.546 grams @ 6.022e23 atoms / mole =

    your answer is: 2.04e22 atoms of copper

    ===============================

    X-107:

    106.9051 amu (55.84%) = 59.69581

    X-109:

    108.9048 amu (44.16%) = 48.09236

    59.69581 plus  48.09236 = 107.78817

    your answer: 107.7882 amu
