Question

Balance the equation of copper hydroxide and nitric acid gives copper nitrate and water

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer:

Cu(OH)2 + HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O | Chemical reaction and equation.

Cu(OH)2 + 2HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O | Chemical balanced

Answer 2

Answer:

The balanced chemical equation is:

Cu(OH)₂   +  2HNO₃  $\longrightarrow$  Cu(NO₃)₂    +    2H₂O

Explanation:

• Copper hydoxide (Cu(OH)₂ is a blue color precipitate which is usually used to prepare large number of salts. Copper hydroxide itself prepared by the reaction of cupric sulphate (CuSO₄) in sufficient amount of aqueous ammonia. Then precipitating the hydroxide by addition of alkali and removal of ammonia.
• The copper hydroxide or cupric hydroxide reacts with nitric acid. The products formed are copper nitrate and water. The balanced chemical equation can be written as:

        Cu(OH)₂   +  2HNO₃  →  Cu(NO₃)₂    +    2H₂O  

        The appearance of copper nitrate is blue colored crystals.
