(a). 2xx10^22

(b). 4xx10^22

(c). 2xx10^22

(d). 66"mg"

Explanation:

(a).

Cu^(2+)+2erarr Cu

Mass Cu = 2.12g

So moles Cu = 2.12/63.6=0.033

So no. atoms Cu = 0.033xx6.02xx10^(23)=2.0xx10^22

(b).

From the above equation 1 mole Cu^(2+) ions require 2 moles of electrons to be discharged.

So no. moles electrons =0.033xx2=0.066

So no. electrons = 0.066xx6.02xx10^(23)=4xx10^22

(c).

2H^(+)+2erarr H_2

So you can see a mole of hydrogen gas also requires 2 moles of electrons to be discharged.

so no. molecules H_2=2xx10^22.

(d).

No. moles H_2 = no. moles Cu =0.033

M_rH_2=2.0

So mass H_2=0.033xx2=0.066"g"=66"mg"
