Let us assume that Cu(OH)2(s) is completely insoluble, which signifies that the precipitation reaction with NaOH(aq) (presented in the transition) would go to completion. If you had a 0.300 L solution containing 0.0230 M of Cu2+(aq), and you wished to add enough 1.31 M NaOH(aq) to precipitate all of the metal, what is the minimum amount of the NaOH(aq) solution you would need to add? Assume that the NaOH(aq) solution is the only source of OH−(aq) for the precipitation. Express the volume to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
