Copper metal itself does not react with sodium hydroxide. But when NaOH is added to a solution of copper ions, it would form a light blue precipitate, which is copper(II) hydroxide, and will NOT dissolve with the excess alkali.

What results from copper II nitrate reacting with sodium hydroxide?

Solutions of copper (II) compounds will undergo precipitation reactions with sodium hydroxide solution when mixed together to produce a bright blue precipitate of copper (II) hydroxide and a solution of a sodium salt.The chemical equations for the reaction between Copper (II) nitrate and Sodium hydroxide are as follows:Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Cu(OH)2 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)Copper II nitrate + sodium hydroxide → copper II hydroxide + sodium nitrate
