Answer #1

Reaction with copper(ii) sulfate with NaOH is a double displacement reaction

CuSO4 + 2NaOH = Cu(OH)2 + NaSO4

NaOH is strong base while CuSO4 is salt. When we mix these solution in water they form blue precipitate of basic copper hydroxide and the other solution is salt of sodium sulphate. And it is not a dangerous reaction since it is happening in dilute condition.

For cleaning up this chemical you can use Sulfuric Acid to Neutralize the Copper hydroxide and it will form back copper sulphate.

I'm wondering if I have these reactions correct.. 1. Aqueous sodium phosphate mixed with aqueous copper (ii) sulfate--No reaction? So this would mean 2Na3PO4(aq)+3CuSO4(aq)-->3Na2SO4(aq)+Cu3(PO4)2(aq)? Except I looked up Copper (ii) phosphate and it is insoluble in water, meaning that would be (s) instead of (aq) but I thought if you have a (s) in the product then a precipitate will be formed? (And there was no evidence of a precipitate formed when I did the lab-I may be wrong though)....
