(2.5 grams =) 0.0393 moles of copper reacts with (0.31* grams =) 0.0194

moles of oxygen to produce something that has a ratio of 2.0 moles copper to 1 mole oxygen.

Copper has a +1 and a +2 oxidation state and Oxygen has (usually) a -2 oxidation state so we know it isn't CuO because that's a 1:1 ratio. Cu2O has a 2:1 ratio...what could it be?

*notice that the subtraction: 2.81g - 2.50 g = 0.31 g, reduced my significant digits to two.

When 2.50 g of Cu reacts with oxygen the copper oxide product has amass of 2.81 g what is the simplest formula of the copper oxide?

The difference in mass between the copper and the copper oxide is 0.31 g. To find the moles of oxygen, we need to convert this mass difference to moles. The molar mass of Cu is 63.55 g/mol and the molar mass of O is 16.00 g/mol. The ratio of Cu to O is 1:1, so the simplest formula of the copper oxide is CuO.
