What is Cu2CO3? Important knowledge about Cu2CO3.

Cu₂CO₃, also known as Copper (II) Carbonate, copper carbonate, or copper (II) carbonate in English, is a chemical compound with the formula Cu₂CO₃. It consists of two copper (Cu) atoms, one carbon (C) atom, and three oxygen (O) atoms. Its molar mass is approximately 221.12 g/mol.

The physical properties of Cu₂CO₃ are as follows: it is a solid, blue or green in color, odorless, and has a neutral pH. Chemically, Cu₂CO₃ is insoluble in water, soluble in acid, and fairly easily decomposed by high temperatures.

Some chemical equations involving Cu₂CO₃ are:

• Cu₂CO₃ + 2HCl -> 2CuCl + H₂O + CO₂(reactionwithhydrochloricacid)
• Cu₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄ -> CuSO₄ + H₂O + CO₂(reactionwithsulfuricacid)
• Cu₂CO₃ + 2NaOH -> 2NaCuO₂ + H₂O + CO₂(reactionwithalkali)

The preparation of Cu₂CO₃ can be carried out in the laboratory by reacting a CuSO₄ solution with a Na₂CO₃ solution, then filtering the solid obtained, washing the solid with distilled water and drying. On an industrial scale, Cu₂CO₃ can be produced through the oxidation of copper (II) with carbon dioxide in the air.
