Detailed information about the reaction CuSO4 + NaOH -> Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4:
- This is an ion-exchange reaction between copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), resulting in copper(II) hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) and sodium sulfate (Na2SO4).
- To balance the equation, we need 2 molecules of NaOH for each molecule of CuSO4. Therefore, the balanced equation is: CuSO4 + 2NaOH -> Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4.

Reaction conditions:
- The reaction occurs well at room temperature.
- Copper(II) sulfate and sodium hydroxide need to be dissolved in water to form a solution before the reaction.
