Copper(II) Nitrate
Copper(II) nitrate describes any member of the family of inorganic compounds with the formula Cu( NO3)2(H2O)x. The hydrates are blue solids. Anhydrous copper nitrate forms blue-green crystals and sublimes in a vacuum at 150-200 °C. Common hydrates are the hemipentahydrate and trihydrate. Synthesis and reactions Hydrated copper(II) nitrate Hydrated copper nitrate is prepared by treating copper metal or its oxide with nitric acid: :Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2. + 2H2O + 2NO2 The same salts can be prepared treating copper metal with an aqueous solution of silver nitrate. That reaction illustrates the ability of copper metal to reduce silver ions. In aqueous solution, the hydrates exist as the aqua complex u(H2O)6sup>2+. Such complexes are highly labile owing to the d9 electronic configuration of copper(II). Attempted dehydration of any of the hydrated copper(II) nitrates by heating affords the oxides, not Cu(NO3)2. At 80 °C, the hydrates convert to "basic copper nitrate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
