About This Product
In salt preparation, the oxide is added to a dilute acid in the quantities and order the method states, the reaction is watched as the black solid reacts, and any excess is filtered off to leave a copper(II) salt solution. The mass is measured with a clean, dry spatula and transferred carefully to avoid dust, and residues go to the chemical-waste system.
