Question

Given the reactants Copper(II) chloride and Sodium hydroxide, predict the products of the reaction and write the balanced chemical equation.

Answer 1

The reaction between Copper II  chloride  CuCl  and Sodium hydroxide  NaOH  is a double displacement reaction, which results in the formation of Copper II  hydroxide  Cu OH   and Sodium chloride  NaCl . The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:CuCl  aq  + 2 NaOH  aq   Cu OH   s  + 2 NaCl  aq
