Answer:
The molar concentration of Cu²⺠in the initial solution is 6.964x10ā»ā“ M.
Explanation:
The first step to solving this problem is calculating the number of moles of Cu(NOā)ā added to the solution:
[tex]C = \frac{n}{V} \\0.0275 = \frac{n}{0.0005} \\[/tex]
n = 1.375x10ā»āµ mol
The second step is relating the number of moles to the signal. We know the the n calculated before is equivalent to a signal increase of 19.9 units (45.1-25.2):
1.375x10ā»āµ mol _________ 19.9 units
Ā Ā Ā Ā x Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā _________ Ā 25.2 units
x = 1.741x10ā»āµmol
Finally, we can calculate the Cu²⺠concentration :
C = 1.741x10ā»āµmol / 0.025 L
C = 6.964x10ā»ā“ M
