Copper(II) Sulfate and Sodium Hydroxide

CuSO4 + 2NaOH → Cu(OH)2 + Na2SO4

अवलोकन

Blue copper(II) sulfate solution reacts with sodium hydroxide to form a pale blue gelatinous precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide and sodium sulfate solution. This is a common qualitative test for copper(II) ions and is used in the Biuret test for proteins.

रोजमर्रा का उदाहरण

The Biuret test for proteins uses copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide; the formation of a violet color (rather than pale blue precipitate) indicates protein presence.

औद्योगिक महत्व

Copper hydroxide is used as a fungicide in agriculture (Bordeaux mixture) and as a starting material for other copper compounds.
