PARTIAL ANSWER:
Over 800 pounds of moon rock have been returned to earth but I'm not sure of soil samples which would add considerably to that number.
about 860 kilos
Approximately 382 kilograms (842 pounds) of moon rocks were brought back by the Apollo astronauts during the six successful moon landing missions.
Neil Armstrong collected about 47.5 pounds (21.5 kilograms) of moon rock during the Apollo 11 mission. This rock and soil were brought back to Earth for scientific study.
A total of 382 kilograms (842 pounds) of rocks and soil were brought back from the moon during the Apollo missions. These samples have provided valuable insights into the composition and history of the moon.
Scientists learned important information about the moon's formation, history, and composition by studying the rocks brought back by astronauts. They found that the moon is much older than previously thought, provided evidence of past volcanic activity, and discovered similarities between moon rocks and certain rocks on Earth.

The answer will depend on where he is to be brought back from!

Yes, small amounts of copper have been detected on the surface of the moon through samples brought back by Apollo missions and remote sensing instruments. However, the overall abundance of copper on the moon is much lower compared to Earth.

Scientists learned that the rocks brought back from the moon are significantly older than rocks found on Earth, indicating that the moon formed much earlier in the solar system's history. They also discovered that the moon has a different composition than Earth, suggesting that it may have formed from a different material or experienced different geological processes. Additionally, the rocks provided insight into the violent history of the moon, including evidence of impacts from asteroids and comets.
The phases of the moon are determined by how much of the moon we can see from earth. The amount of the moon we see is determined by how much of the suns light is reflected from it back to us. As the moon moves round the earth and the earth moves round the sun the amount of light that gets bounced back from moon changes because of its different possitions.
America, 840 lbs. The Russians brought back less than would fill a Coke can, and an additional 20 lbs. of Moon rock (severely damaged by Earth's atmosphere) was found on the ice in Antarctica, long after Apollo. In fact, it was only by comparison with the Apollo rocks that these scorched and melted rocks, damaged by Earth's atmosphere, the heat of entry, and the water in Earth's environment, were determined to be of lunar origin.
Enough to go from earth to the moon and back twice
The moon is illuminated because it reflects light from the Sun. This phenomenon is visible to us on Earth depending on the position of the moon in relation to the Sun and the Earth. Different phases of the moon result from how much of the illuminated side we can see from Earth.
