There are two possible methods for recovering copper from a solution of copper (II) sulfate, one uses precipitation and the other 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 Na2CO3 would be needed to precipitate all of the copper ions in 70.3 mL of 0.790 M CuSO4? mL
How many grams of CuCO3(s) would be formed from the copper ions in 70.3 mL of 0.790 M CuSO4? g
