copper is less thermally stable compared to sodium. the charge of copper is 2+, which is higher than sodium, which has only one nuclear charge. hence, copper has more polarization compared to sodium ion, making it more distorted and unstable.

What kind of precipitate forms from copper chloride and sodium carbonate?

Copper carbonate would precipitate if you combined solutions of copper (II) chloride and sodium carbonate.


Copper sulfate and sodium carbonate physical or chemical change?

When copper sulfate and sodium carbonate are mixed together, a chemical reaction occurs. This reaction forms copper carbonate, a new substance with different properties than the reactants. Therefore, the mixing of copper sulfate and sodium carbonate is a chemical change.


What is the precipitate of copper sulphate and sodium carbonate?

The precipitate formed when copper sulfate and sodium carbonate are mixed is copper carbonate. This reaction occurs because copper carbonate is insoluble in water and therefore forms a solid precipitate.


What do bicarbonates decompose into when added to acids?

Sodium carbonate


What is the word equation for the green precipitate of copper carbonate and sodium sulphate solution?

Copper(II) carbonate is insoluble in water and doesn't react with sodium sulfate. A green product, visible on ald objects made from copper or copper alloys, is a mixture of copper carbonate and copper hydroxide.


Why does sodium carbonate not decompose when using a Bunsen burner?

because its a single, stable element. its not like copper carbonate, which is a compound of more that one element; here these elements can break apart

What forms when we add sodium carbonate and copper sulphate?

sodium carbonate + copper sulfate ===> copper carbonate (s) + sodium sulfateNa2CO3(aq) + CuSO4(aq) ===> CuCO3(s) + Na2SO4(aq)


Why does copper sulphate and sodium carbonate mixed together turn green?

When copper sulfate (blue) and sodium carbonate (colorless) are mixed, a chemical reaction occurs that forms copper carbonate as a product, which is green in color. The green color comes from the copper carbonate that is insoluble in water and precipitates out when the two solutions are mixed.


What is the product of Copper carbonate added to sodium hydroxide?

When copper carbonate is added to sodium hydroxide, a chemical reaction occurs to form copper hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Copper hydroxide is a blue solid precipitate, while sodium carbonate remains as a soluble compound in the solution.


Why does sodium carbonate not decompose when heated using a Bunsen burner?

Sodium carbonate does decompose when heated, it undergoes thermal decomposition to form sodium oxide (Na2O), carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O). However, the decomposition of sodium carbonate is not easily noticeable when using a Bunsen burner as the high temperature and rapid combustion of the gas can mask the decomposition reaction.
