Copper sulphate solution (250 ml) was electrolyzed using a platinum anode and copper cathode. A constant current of 2 mA was passed for 16 minute. It was found that after electrolysis, the absorbance of the solution was reduced to 50% of its original value. Calculate the concentration of copper sulphate ion in the solution to begin with.
