The above chemical equation describes the reaction process between copper(II) nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) to produce copper(II) hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) and potassium nitrate (2KNO3).
-
Reaction conditions:
- The reaction takes place in a water solution environment.
- There must be enough reagents for the reaction to occur completely.
-
Reaction process:
- Copper(II) nitrate reacts with potassium hydroxide to form copper(II) hydroxide and potassium nitrate.
- The ions in the solution interact with each other to produce new products.
-
Occurring phenomenon: when the reaction occurs, you will see the phenomenon of blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide. Potassium nitrate is in solution form and does not create precipitation.
