Questions And Answer

• Description

  Copper(II) carbonate or cupric carbonate is a chemical compound with formula CuCO3. At ambient temperatures, it is an ionic solid (a salt) consisting of copper(II) cations Cu2+and carbonate anions CO₃²⁻ .;

• Synthesis

  Reliable synthesis of true copper(II) carbonate was reported for the first time in 1973 by Hartmut Ehrhardt and others. The compound was obtained as a gray powder, by heating basic copper carbonate in an atmosphere of carbon dioxide (produced by the decomposition of silver oxalate Ag₂C₂O₄) at 500 °C and 2 GPa (20,000 atm). The compound was determined to have a monoclinic structure.;
