A1.00 l solution contains 3.50×10-4 m cu(no3)2 and 1.75×10-3 m ethylenediamine (en). the kf for cu(en)22+ is 1.00×1020. what is the concentration of cu2+(aq ) in the solution?

A 1.00 L solution containing 3.00x10^-4 M Cu(NO3)2 and 2.40x10^-3 M ethylenediamine (en). contains 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 and 0.00240 moles of ethylenediamine by the formula Cu(en)2^2+ 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 reacts with twice as many moles of en = 0.000600 mol of en so, 0.00240 moles of ethylenediamine - 0.000600 mol of en reacted = 0.00180 mol en remains by the formula Cu(en)2^2+ 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 reacts to form an equal 0.000300 moles of Cu(en)2^2+ Kf for Cu(en)2^2+ is 1x10^20. so 1 Cu+2 & 2 en --> Cu(en)2^2+ Kf = [Cu(en)2^2+] / [Cu+2] [en]^2 1x10^20. = [0.000300] / [Cu+2] [0.00180 ]^2 [Cu+2] = [0.000300] / (1x10^20) (3.24 e-6) Cu+2 = 9.26 e-19 Molar since your Kf has only 1 sig fig, you might be expected to round that off to 9 X 10^-19 Molar Cu+2
