Answer:
a. 0.0015 moles of Cu(NO3)2•3H2O were added to the flask.
b. 0.0015 moles of Cu^2+ were added to the flask.
c. The Molarity of the Cu^2+ solution is 0.03 M.
Explanation:
a. The moles of Cu(NO3)2•3H2O can be calculated using the formula:
Moles = Weight (g) / Molar Mass (g/mol)
Given that the weight of Cu(NO3)2•3H2O is 0.215 g and its molar mass is 187.55 g/mol, we get:
Moles = 0.215 g / 187.55 g/mol ≈ 0.0015 moles
b. Since the mole ratio between Cu(NO3)2•3H2O and Cu^2+ is 1:1, the moles of Cu^2+ are also 0.0015 moles.
c. Molarity (M) is defined as moles of solute per liter of solution. The formula is:
M = Moles of solute / Volume of solution (L)
In this case, the moles of Cu^2+ is 0.0015 moles (as calculated in part b), and the volume of the solution is 0.05 L (50.00 mL converted to liters). Thus,
M = 0.0015 moles / 0.05 L = 0.03 M
Therefore, the Molarity of the Cu^2+ solution is 0.03 M.
