To solve the problem of estimating the number of free electrons in a copper wire with a mass of 6.4 g, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of copper. The number of moles (n) can be calculated using the formula: \[ n = \frac{\text{mass of copper}}{\text{molar mass of copper}} \] ...
