SHORT DESCRIPTION

Cupric Carbonate Extra Pure is a fine, green, high-purity compound used in laboratories for inorganic synthesis, analytical chemistry, and educational demonstrations. It serves as a reliable source of copper ions in reactions and decomposes upon heating to form copper oxide, making it useful for studying thermal decomposition. In qualitative analysis, it is employed to observe characteristic reactions of copper salts. Its extra pure grade ensures minimal interference from impurities, supporting accurate experimental outcomes. Cupric carbonate should be handled in a dry environment and stored in tightly sealed containers to prevent degradation and maintain stability.
