I'm just wondering what observations to expect from carrying out a reaction of copper sulphate and sodium hydroxide.
Copper(II) ions + Sodium Hydroxide
Blue solution forms a blue precipitate and solution stays blue
Cu(2+) + 2OH(-) ==> Cu(OH)2 (s)
However I'm wondering if whether if excess NaOH is added whether the precipitate disappears?
I'm asking because I know this occurs with ammonia and in a sense its kind of the same reaction
NH3 + H2O ==> NH4(+) + OH(-)
Cu(2+) + 2OH(-) ==> Cu(OH)2(s)
Thanks in advance
