The reaction, Zn+CuSO_(4)rarrCu+ZnSO_(4) goes to completion. In one experiment, 10 g of metallic zinc was added to 200 mL CuSO_(4) solution. After all the Cu was precipitated, it was found that not all the zinc has dissolved. After filtration, the total solid at the end of reaction was 9.81 g . Calculate the weight of Cu deposited and molarity of CuSO_(4) in original solution.
