Copper Chloride is an ionic compound, which are built of positive and negative ions which are bound together by the force of attraction of their opposite charges. If energy needed to break their ionic bounds is lower then the energy given off by an interaction of the ions with solvent (i.e. water), the salts will dissociate and interact with solvent and thus dissolve.

Yes. In fact, we did an experiment on it and the copper(II) chloride powder dissolved almost instantly after a little stirring. Make sure not to saturate the solution though, or it will seem as if the compound wasn't soluble.

It's an ion. All ions disolve in water. They disolve into negative and positive ions. Hence why that solution will be able to conduct electricity

The reaction between copper carbonate with water?

No, it dosent. If a base can be dissolved in water, its corresponding metal oxide must be able to be dissolved in water. So you see copper hydroxide is solid, which means it can't be dissolved in water. So copper oxide can't react or be dissolved in water to form copper hydroxide.

Is copper sulphate soluble in water?

Sulfides are insoluble unless combined with Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs, and NH4. So, Na2S is soluble, and CuS is insoluble.

NO, its insoluble


Is copper soluble in sodium hydroxide?

Metallic copper does not react with sodium hydroxide. But if sodium hydroxide is added into a solution of copper ions, it would form Copper(II) Hydroxide. It is a precipitate which is insoluble in water.


Is copper acetate a weak base?

Copper acetate is an ionic compound, but the acetate ions that are part of it have internal covalent bonds. Since the acetate ions are not molecules, this is not considered to be a molecular compound.
