Question

when copper sulafate and sodium chloride are added nothing happens why???

so is this ok? When one compound is added to another a new substance can be formed, this is called a chemical reaction for example copper sulfate + sodium carbonate possible products are Sodium sulfate, Copper carbonate. When a chemical reaction does not occur for example when we added copper sulfate and sodium chloride this is because When added together both these compounds will be separate and turn into ions, since none of these ions combine to form an insoluble substance, both of these compounds are soluble in water so the ions simply hang around as separate ions in solution.... remember im in grade 10:P

Answer 1

There are 4 possible compounds (salts) that can be made from the four ions in this mixture. All of them are soluble, so all of the ions stay in solution, which is what you mean when you say that "nothing happens."

The ions are:Cu(2+), SO4 (2-), Na+, and Cl -.

The four possible compounds are CuSO4, CuCl2, NaCl, and Na2SO4 (all of which are soluble).

Answer 2

If you are talking about aqueous solutions of copper sulphate and sodium chloride, then both these compounds will be dissociated into ions, Cu++, SO4--, Na+ and Cl-. Since none of these ions combine to form an insoluble precipitate (CuCl2 and Na2SO4 are both soluble in water), the ions simply hang around as separate ions in solution and, as you say, nothing happens.

Answer 3

The two possible reaction products, copper chloride and sodium sulfate, are both soluble.

Answer 4

CuSO4 + NaCl = no reaction
don't ask why

Answer 5

Why not?
