Step 1:
I'll solve this problem step by step using the specified LaTeX formatting guidelines.

Step 2:
: Calculate the molar mass of copper(II) sulfite \mathrm{CuSO}_{3}

\begin{align}
- Atomic masses: - Molar mass calculation: \mathrm{Molar~Mass} &= 63.55 + 32.07 + (3 \times 16.00) \ &= 63.55 + 32.07 + 48.00 \ &= 143.62 \mathrm{~g/mol} \end{align}

Step 3:
: Calculate grams of copper(II) sulfite in 2.12 \times 10^{22} formula units

\begin{align}
- Convert formula units to moles: &= 0.0352 \mathrm{~mol} \end{align} - Convert moles to grams: \text{Grams} &= 0.0352 \mathrm{~mol} \times 143.62 \mathrm{~g/mol} \ &= 5.05 \mathrm{~g} \end{align}

Step 4:
: Calculate formula units in 4.71 grams of copper(II) sulfite

\begin{align}
- Convert grams to moles: &= 0.0328 \mathrm{~mol} \end{align} - Convert moles to formula units: \text{Formula Units} &= 0.0328 \mathrm{~mol} \times (6.022 \times 10^{23} \mathrm{~formula~units/mol}) \ &= 1.98 \times 10^{22} \mathrm{~formula~units} \end{align}

Final Answer

a. 5.05 \mathrm{~g} of copper(II) sulfite b. 1.98 \times 10^{22} \mathrm{~formula~units} of copper(II) sulfite
