What's the molarity of the HNO3? That's
1.41 g/mL x 1000 mL x 0.696 x (1/molar mass HNO3) = about 16 M but you should calculate it more accurately.
What's the equation?
Cu + 4HNO3 ==> Cu(NO3)2 + 2NO2 + 2H2O
mols Cu = grams/molar mass
Convert mols HNO3 to mols Cu using the coefficients in the balanced equation.
Now convert mols Cu to grams. g = mols x atomic mass.
