    Answer: 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
