How to make copper (II) chloride: base – acid method

In this post you will learn how to produce pure copper (II) chloride (CuCl₂) using basic copper carbonate, Cu2(OH)2CO3 , which I’ll tell you how to prepare as well. These two are the kind of reactions that will result in quantitative yields if done correctly without much pouring from one container to another. Chemicals needed for 126,80 g of copper (II) chloride: 185,71 g copper sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4 ⋅ 5H2O ) 130 g sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) x g hydrochloric acid (HCl), where x is equal to 5500/conc. % Prepare the… Read more How to make copper (II) chloride: base – acid method
