State your observations when sodium hydroxide is added to the following solution slowly, until in excess : Copper chloride

Open in App

Solution

When sodium hydroxide is added to Copper chloride:
$\underset{Copper chloride}{{CuCl}_{2} (aq)} + \underset{Sodium hydroxide}{2 NaOH (aq)} \to \underset{Copper hydroxide}{Cu {(OH)}_{2} (aq)} ↓ + \underset{Sodium chloride}{2 NaCl (aq)}$
Bluish white precipitation of $Cu {(OH)}_{2}$ is formed which is insoluble in excess of sodium hydroxide.
