Synthesis
Combine a soluble copper (II) salt (like copper (II) chloride or copper (II) acetate) with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide
Example
- Completely dissolve 72g of hydrated copper (II) acetate (0.36M) in 1L of water.
- Completely dissolve 42g of hydrated sodium hydroxide (0.72M) in 50ml of water.
- Chill both solutions
- Combine solutions, keeping the temperature of the solution below 80°C, producing copper hydroxide and sodium acetate.
- Cu(CH3COO)2(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)2(s) + NaCH3COO(aq)
