What are the concentration of the three solutions?
« on: March 13, 2012, 06:45:02 AM »
If the concentration of the issued (standard) CuSO4 solution is 1.80 * 10^-2 M, what are the concentrations of each of the three solutions prepared for the calibration curve.

First flask = 0mL of Cu^2+ solution and 10ml of 2M NH3
Second Flask = 5mL of Cu^2+ solution and 10ml of 2M NH3
Third Flask = 15mL of Cu^2+ solution and 10ml of 2M NH3

Can you begin to solve this one for yourself?  That is part of the Forum Rules, posted in Red, at the top of every page of this forum.  What is a calibration curve?  What is it supposed to do?  Can you tells us, for starters, how much Cu is in the first flask?
Hey, I'm not judging.  I just like to shoot straight.  I'm a man of science.

Hi, Sorry i didn't realise that this was the site rules.
I think imay have an idea but i'm not totally sure.

First flask i work out the concentration to be 2M because you were only adding in the 2M NH3 solution.
Second Flask and third flask: I used this equation. (n(NH3)-n(Cu^2+))/V(NH3+Cu^2+)
Is this method correct?

2M of what? You have copper sulfate and ammonia in the solution, each will have a different concentration. You have to treat their concentrations separately.

For solutions 2 and 3 recalculate concentration of both reagent to the final volume, then calculate stoichiometry of complex formation
