Hi! I'm trying to replicate this synthesis for Copper nanoparticles using as a capping agent PEG 10,000, however I'm having trouble finding the right amount of each reagent in grams, can anyone please help me with that?

"In a typical preparation process, CuCl2·2H2O aqueous solution was prepared by dissolving CuCl2·2H2O (10 mmol) in 50 ml deionized water. A flask containing CuCl2·2H2O aqueous solution was heated to 80 ◦C in an oil bath with magnetic stirring. A 50 ml L-ascorbic acid aqueous solution of various concentrations (0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 M) was added dropwise into the flask while stirring. The mixture was kept at 80 ◦C until a dark solution was obtained. The resulting dispersion was centrifuged at 8000 rpm for 15 min. The supernatant was placed under ambient conditions for 2 months"
