At 25 ∘C25\,\circ\text{C}, a galvanic cell based on the reaction Zn(s)+Cu2+(aq)→Zn2+(aq)+Cu(s)Zn(s) + Cu^{2+}(aq) \rightarrow Zn^{2+}(aq) + Cu(s) shows a measured potential of 1.03 V1.03\,\text{V} when [Cu2+]=1.00 M[Cu^{2+}] = 1.00\,\text{M}. The standard potential for the cell is 1.10 V1.10\,\text{V}. Calculate the concentration of Zn2+Zn^{2+} ions present in the zinc half-cell. Give your answer to two significant figures.
