general chem II pre-lab for tomorrow!

how many moles of HCl must you add to a solution containing 1.0g of Copper(II) Salicylate dihydrate if you wanted to add two HCl molecules for each carboxylate present?

note:  there are four carboxylate groups per one complex

You're asked for HCl in moles.  You're given the complex in grams.  You'll have to convert first.
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.
