Copper(II) acetate, also referred to as cupric acetate, is the chemical compound with the formula Cu(OAc) 2 where AcO − is acetate (CH 3 CO − 2).The hydrated derivative, Cu 2 (OAc) 4 (H 2 O) 2, which contains one molecule of water for each copper atom, is available commercially.
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.
The systematic IUPAC name is not always the preferred IUPAC name, for example, lactic acid is a common, and also the preferred, name for what systematic rules call 2-hydroxypropanoic acid. This list is ordered by the number of carbon atoms in a carboxylic acid.
For example, CH 3 −CH(OH)−COOH (lactic acid) is named 2-hydroxypropanoic acid with no "1" stated. Some traditional names for common carboxylic acids (such as acetic acid) are in such widespread use that they are retained in IUPAC nomenclature, [7] though systematic names like ethanoic acid are
2 if p CO 2 is less than 0.11 atm. [3] In the presence of water or moist air at 25 °C, CuCO 3 is stable only for p CO 2 above 4.57 atmospheres and pH between about 4 and 8. [8] Below that partial pressure, it reacts with water to form a basic carbonate (azurite, Cu 3 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 2). [3] 3 CuCO 3 + H 2 O → Cu 3 (CO 3) 2 (OH) 2 + CO 2
The tetrahydrate has been shown by X-ray crystallography to adopt an octahedral structure, the central cobalt centre being coordinated by four water molecules and two acetate ligands. [1] The analogous nickel acetate is isostructural. [2] Various hydrates are known including Co(CH 3 CO 2) 2 ·H 2 O and [Co(CH 3 CO 2) 2] 5 ·0.5 H 2 O. [3]
hydrogen oxalate (HC 2 O − 4) The formula Na 2 SO 3 denotes that the cation is sodium, or Na +, and that the anion is the sulfite ion (SO 2− 3). Therefore, this compound is named sodium sulfite. If the given formula is Ca(OH) 2, it can be seen that OH − is the hydroxide ion.
Zinc acetate is a component of some medicines, e.g., lozenges for treating the common cold. [1] Zinc acetate can also be used as a dietary supplement. [2] As an oral daily supplement it is used to inhibit the body's absorption of copper as part of the treatment for Wilson's disease. [3]
