A25.0-ml sample containing cu2+ gave an instrument signal of 25.2 units (corrected for a blank). when exactly 0.500 ml of 0.0275 m cu(no3)2 was added to the solution, the signal increased to 45.1 units. calculate the molar concentration of cu2+ assuming that the signal was directly proportional to the analyte concentration. skoog, douglas a.. principles of instrumental analysis (p. 20). brooks cole. kindle edition.

The molar concentration of Cu²⁺ in the initial solution is 6.964x10⁻⁴ M.

Explanation:

The first step to solving this problem is calculating the number of moles of Cu(NO₃)₂ added to the solution:

n = 1.375x10⁻⁵ 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):

1.375x10⁻⁵ mol _________ 19.9 units

        x              _________  25.2 units

x = 1.741x10⁻⁵mol

Finally, we can calculate the Cu²⁺ concentration :

C = 1.741x10⁻⁵mol / 0.025 L

C = 6.964x10⁻⁴ M

in 1783 cavendish was working with his hydrogen gas and found that when he burned it and condensed the vapor it was water. this was very significant since it disproved the greek theory of elements completely since water was not a simple substance but the product of two gases. it was lavoisier who hearing of the experiment gave cavendish's gas the name hydrogen ("water-producer") and added that hydrogen burned by combining with oxygen and that water was a hydrogen-oxygen combination.
