Atmospheric precipitation Reactions

Introduction

Approximately 2 mL of Solution A is added to a sample of Solution B with a dropping pipet. If a precipitate forms, the resulting precipitate is supended in the mixture. The mixture is then stirred with a glass stirring rod and the precipitate is allowed to settle for about a minute.

Adding colorless sodium hydroxide to blue copper(II) nitrate produces a low-cal bluish precipitate.

Solution A: 0.5 Grand sodium hydroxide (colorless)
Solution B: 0.2 M copper(Ii) nitrate (bluish)
Precipitate: (light bluish)
Cu(NO_iii)₂(aq) + 2 NaOH(aq) --> Cu(OH)₂(s) + ii NaNO_iii(aq)

Molecular Representation

The mixing of solutions of copper(II) nitrate and sodium hydroxide results in the formation of a mixture composed of a solution of sodium nitrate and a copper(II) hydroxide precipitate.

Slide i: This represents a copper nitrate solution. The bronze colored balls are copper(II) ions. Nitrate ions are represented by a blue ball (nitrogen) surrounded by three crimson balls (oxygen).

Slide 2: This represents a sodium hydroxide solution. The blue-grey balls are sodium ions. Hydroxide ions are represented by a grey brawl (hydrogen) next to a red ball (oxygen).

Slide 3: This represents a mixture of copper(II) ions, nitrate ions, sodium ions and hydroxide ions equally they might appear earlier reaction.

Slide 4: This is a representation of the mixture present later on the reaction is complete. Information technology shows copper(II) hydroxide solid, sodium ions and nitrate ions.
