Which ion is responsible for the colour that is observed in the CuCl2 solution?

CuCl2(s) = Cu^2_(aq) + + 2Cl^-(aq)
In solution the chloride anions )Cl^-) are colourless ; see also dissolved common salt (NaCl)
So it must be the copper cations (Cu^2+) that gives the colour blue.

What is the molarity of a solution prepared by dissolving 20.00g CaCl2 in enough water to make 1.00L of solution?
20.2 g of CuCl2 = .1502 mol CuCl2 M=mol/L M=.1502 mol/L
Why does copper reacts with sodium chloride?
Copper is corroded in a sodium chloride solution; CuCl2 is formed.
What is the product of cu plus cl2 equals cucl2?
CuCl2 is the product.
What happens when one copper wire is submerged in an aqueous solution of FeCl3?
Copper is dissolved:2 FeCl3 + Cu = 2 FeCl2 + CuCl2
What is Na2O plus CuCl2?
NiCl2 + 2Na --> 2NaCl + Ni
What color does CuCl2 burn?
CuCl2 does NOT burn per se. However, when CuCl2 is dissovled in water in to Cu^2+ ions and Cl^- ions. Pass a ni-chrome or platinum wire through the solution, and then pass the wire through a Bunsen Burner flame. The flame colour will becomes a beautiful Blue/Green colour.
Is cucl2 aqueous?
Under normal conditions CuCl2 can exist in either a solid state or in aqueous solution.
Why does CuCO3 plus HCl turn green?
Cu(CO3) + 2HCl --> CuCl2 + H2O + CO2 CuCl2 product, when dry is a yellow/brown powder. However, when wet it forms a co-ordination complex with the water in the solution: CuCl2.2H2O --> Cu(Cl)2(H2O)2 The electronic structure of transition metals and ligands cause visible colours. In this case the solution is blue/green in colour. If you dry the solution down you will get a blue/green powder. Drying further in a dessicator will give the yellow/brown anhydrous CuCl2.

What is the equation when zinc metal is added to a solution of copper II chloride?
The chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when zinc metal is added to a solution of copper II chloride is: Zn + CuCl2 -> Cu + ZnCl2.
How do you prepare cupric chloride solution?
CuO + 2 HCl -> CuCl2 + H2O Please see the link.
To what volume should you dilute 131ml of an 7.95M CuCl2 solution so that 50.5ml of the diluted solution contains 5.8g CuCl2?
First multiply .131ml and 7.95M to get the moles of Cucl2. (You will need this later) Then find the moles per 49.5ml diluted solution. (6.1g divided my molar mass) Then set both equal to each other Original mol/X = Diluted mol/49.5ml and solve for X This should work
What is the colour change when copper carbonate and sulphuric acid?
Copper carbonate powder is a bluish green. When colorless sulphuric acid is added, the resulting solution has a slightly diluted color and a bunch of bubbles appear, making the color a lighter bluish green. However, when this solution is introduced to a flame (which would ordinarily be yellow), the flame burns green.
What are the oxidation states of each element in CuCl2?
K[CuCl2]
What happens when one copper wire is submerged in an aqueous solution of FeCl3?
Copper is dissolved:2 FeCl3 + Cu = 2 FeCl2 + CuCl2
What is the product of cu plus cl2 equals cucl2?
CuCl2 is the product.
