 Pure copper is attacked by acid in a solution at 25C

Pure copper is attacked by acid in a solution at 25C with a pH of 1 to form hydrogen gas bubbles and Cu2+ ions. Given that Ecu" /Cu = 0.337 V and that the activity coefficient of cupric ions, ycu*, has a value of 0.37, calculate the maximum molality of Cu2+ ions that would result. Assume that the gas bubbles are pure hydrogen at atmospheric pressure and that they are behaving ideally
