Question

A student dissolves a Jefferson nickel to make 100.00 mL of solution in a volumetric flask. The student takes a 5.00 mL5.00 mL aliquot of the first solution and dilutes it to make 100.00 mL100.00 mL of a second solution. The student places a sample of the second solution in a cuvette for analysis using spectrophotometry.

The molarity of the copper solution in the cuvette was determined by spectrophotometric analysis to be 2.90×10−2 M Cu.2.90×10−2 M Cu. Calculate the mass of copper in the Jefferson nickel used to make the first solution.
