Copper(II) Hydroxide Precipitation
CuSO4 + 2NaOH → Cu(OH)2↓ + Na2SO4
Tổng quan
Copper sulfate reacts with sodium hydroxide to form a pale blue gelatinous precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide (Ksp = 2.2 × 10⁻²⁰). The precipitate can be dehydrated by heating to produce black copper(II) oxide. This reaction is the basis of the Biuret test for proteins.

Ví dụ thực tế
The Biuret test for proteins uses Cu(OH)₂ formed from copper sulfate and NaOH; proteins turn the mixture violet due to copper-peptide bond complexation.
Tầm quan trọng công nghiệp
Copper hydroxide is used as a fungicide (Bordeaux mixture), in copper electroplating solutions, and as a precursor to copper oxide catalysts.
