Question

the pale blue precipitate obtained when copper 2 sulphate reacts with sodium hydroxide​

Answer 1

Answer:

NaOH is a strong base while CuSO4 is an acidic salt. When their solutions are mixed with each other, a pale blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide & a solution of neutral salt sodium sulphate will be formed. This is a double displacement as well as precipitation reaction.

Answer 2

Answer:

It forms copper hydroxide

Explanation:

Copper sulphate reacts with sodium hydroxide to form a blue precipitate of copper hydroxide and sodium sulphate. In an experiment, 15.95 g of copper sulphate reacted with 8.0 g of sodium hydroxide to form 9.75 g of copper hydroxide and 14.2 g of sodium sulphate. Which law of chemical combination is illustrated by this data? Give reason for your choice.
