There are two possible methods for recovering copper from asolution of copper (II) sulfate, one uses precipitation and theother uses redox.
Copper(II) ions can be precipitated as copper(II) carbonate.
CuSO4(aq) +Na2CO3(aq) →CuCO3(s) +Na2SO4(aq)
How many mL of 0.495 M Na2CO3would be needed to precipitate all of the copper ions in 70.3 mL of0.790 M CuSO4?Ă‚Â Ă‚Â mL
How many grams of CuCO3(s) would be formed from thecopper ions in 70.3 mL of 0.790 M CuSO4?Ă‚Â Ă‚Â g
