Does sodium bicarbonate react with copper hydroxide in water?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) reacts with copper hydroxide (Cu(OH)2) in water, producing copper carbonate (CuCO3), sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), and water (H2O) according to the equation: Cu(OH)2 + 2NaHCO3 = CuCO3 + Na2CO3 + 2H2O. Copper hydroxide is insoluble in water, which slows down the reaction but does not prevent it. The reaction dynamics are influenced by factors such as concentration and sample preparation.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of chemical reactions and solubility principles
  • Familiarity with chemical equations and stoichiometry
  • Knowledge of copper compounds and their properties
  • Basic chemistry concepts related to acids and bases
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the solubility rules for metal hydroxides and carbonates
  • Study the preparation methods for copper hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate solutions
  • Learn about reaction kinetics and factors affecting reaction rates
  • Explore the applications of copper carbonate in various industries
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and professionals in chemical research or industrial applications involving copper compounds and carbonate reactions.

does sodium bicarbonate react with copper hydroxide in water ?
what is the equation?
 
Chemistry news on Phys.org
Is copper hydroxide soluble?
 
copper hydroxide is not soluble in water as i know?
 
So if it is not soluble, how is it going to react?
 
A possible reaction might be:
Cu(OH)2+2NaHCO3=CuCO3+Na2CO3+2H2O

The fact that Cu(OH)2 is insoluble would slow down the reaction. But since CuCO3 is also insoluble, the insolubility of Cu(OH)2 would at least not force the reaction to the left.
 
Actually if anything I would expect basic carbonate to be produced.

Sadly, questions is poorly defined. A lot depends on details, concentrations, perhaps even the way samples were prepared.
