(a) Copper nitrate hexahydrate

Open in App

Solution

(a) When copper nitrate is heated first heat losses the water molecule, on further heating it decomposes to give reddish-brown gas Nitrogen dioxide and oxygen. The greenish-blue crystals of copper nitrate will change to black residue of copper oxide and give reddish-brown gas i.e., nitrogen dioxide on heating.
