To determine the concentration of copper ions in the given sample using polarography, we need to use the Ilkovic equation:Ip =  2.99 * n^1.5 * D^0.5 * A * C  / t^0.5where:Ip = peak current  2.56 A n = number of electrons involved in the redox reaction  for Cu2+, n = 2 D = diffusion coefficient  for Cu2+, D  7.2 x 10^-6 cm^2/s A = electrode area  we need this value to proceed C = concentration of the copper ions  the value we want to find t = time  we need this value to proceed To solve for the concentration  C , we need the values for electrode area  A  and time  t . Please provide these values so that we can calculate the concentration of copper ions in the sample.
