Copper(II) nitrate describes any member of the family of inorganic compounds with the formula Cu(NO 3) 2 (H 2 O) x.The hydrates are hygroscopic blue solids. Anhydrous copper nitrate forms blue-green crystals and sublimes in a vacuum at 150-200 °C.
Ball-and-stick model of the complex [Cu(NH 3) 4 (H 2 O) 2] 2+, illustrating the octahedral coordination geometry common for copper(II). Polyols, compounds containing more than one alcohol functional group, generally interact with cupric salts. For example, copper salts are used to test for reducing sugars.
Copper is a chemical element with the symbol Cu (from Latin: cuprum) and the atomic number of 29. It is easily recognisable, due to its distinct red-orange color.Copper also has a range of different organic and inorganic salts, having varying oxidation states ranging from (0,I) to (III).
The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
Copper(II) hydroxide is the hydroxide of copper with the chemical formula of Cu(OH) 2.It is a pale greenish blue or bluish green solid. Some forms of copper(II) hydroxide are sold as "stabilized" copper(II) hydroxide, although they likely consist of a mixture of copper(II) carbonate and hydroxide.
The nitrate salt of the acetonitrile complex, i.e., [Cu(MeCN) 4]NO 3, is generated by the reaction of silver nitrate with a suspension of copper metal in acetonitrile. [2] Cu + AgNO 3 + 4 CH 3 CN → [Cu(CH 3 CN) 4]NO 3 + Ag. Tertiary phosphine complexes of the type [Cu(P(C 6 H 5) 3) 3]NO 3 are prepared by the reduction of copper(II) nitrate by ...
N 2 O 4 undergoes molecular autoionization to give [NO +] [NO 3 −], with the former nitrosonium ion being a strong oxidant. The method is illustrated by the route to β-Cu(NO 3) 2: Cu + 2 N 2 O 4 → Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2 NO. Many metals, metal halides, and metal carbonyls undergo similar reactions, but the product formulas can be deceptive.
For example, Cu + is copper(I), Cu 2+ is copper(II). An older, deprecated notation is to append -ous or -ic to the root of the Latin name to name ions with a lesser or greater charge. Under this naming convention, Cu + is cuprous and Cu 2+ is cupric. For naming metal complexes see the page on complex (chemistry).
