Answer:

23.4 milliliters

Step-by-step explanation:

Note 1: This answer assumes that the volume of CuNO3 is negligible
Note 2: CuNO3 can't be produced in any meaningful quantities and can't be obtained by the average chemist, maybe you meant Cu(NO3)2 instead?

From the definition of molarity, molarity = moles / volume
the number of moles is the number of grams divided by the molar mass, or
2.47 divided by 125.55 which is 0.01967

The M and moles is known so volume can be found.

0.82 = 0.01967 / volume
0.82 * volume = 0.01967
volume = 0.01967 / 0.82 = 0.023988 liters = 23.4 milliliters
