The questionable preparation[edit]

Have a look at this thread on Science Madness http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=10948#pid201370

I have repeated the ammonia method, and it does work, but I am unsure why it is up on here as the only method.

There are numerous others that work with easier reagents and produce a cleaner result.

Hello, all. I am an AP Chemistry student doing a final project over the formation of copper (ii) acetate using the hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid method. However, for my project I must explain the reaction. The problem is that I am not sure whether the gas being formed is hydrogen or oxygen. Also, I am unsure of the reaction mechanism, how is the hydrogen peroxide involved in the reaction? If any of you know the answer or know where I can find it I BEG you to email me in the next week at stieljon@usd437.net Yours truly, a really big chemistry nerd. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.179.153.118 (talk) 05:15, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No title[edit]

please send me complete information about copper(11)acetate and experimental demonstration in which complete mechanism provide on my email adress:[syedfaheemshah79_AT_hotmail.com] i want prepare this compound in labouratory . i am a student of msc chemistry final year

Copper (II) Acetate should be Cu(CH3COO)2, not Cu2(CH3COO)4. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.218.225.4 (talk) 16:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is very true if we were presenting the empirical formula (and benzene would be CH, not C6H6), but the way the formula is presented is also intended to describe the fact that the molecule is a dimer. The acetates often have complex structures. --Smokefoot (talk) 19:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Solubility possibly incorrect[edit]

Ona German substance database, http://biade.itrust.de/biade/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm, is sais the solubility at 20C for the monohydrate is 72 grams/100ml water. You can retrieve this value by clicking the "suche" tab, and entering kupfer acetat in the "Stoffname" box. Click on the Phys.-chem. Eigenschaften link to watch the data.

Where does the solubility data for this substance come from? Other sources for solubility data for it are welcome too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spidey71 (talk • contribs) 14:55, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. I got some more precise data on the 20C solubility. Probably the solubility data in the German article is incorrect.--Smokefoot (talk) 19:15, 1 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For the temperature dependent solubility data: "hot" and "cold" are not temperatures. So it is meaningless to report the solubility in "hot" or "cold" water Science Is My Life (talk) 12:15, 28 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Shark repellent[edit]

Jacques Cousteau mentions the use of cupric acetate tablets that aqualung divers wore strapped to their ankles as shark repellent (he refers to these as 'fly-tox' in The Silent World ch10). While I do not know if this was or could be effective, maybe it is worth a mention in the history section? --217.43.4.222 (talk) 22:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What does the second figure show?[edit]

Are the crystals on the copper wire copper(II) acetate (they look dark red rather than blue green) or are they the copper(I) acetate mentioned under related compounds?150.227.15.253 (talk) 11:31, 5 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

characteristic decomposition[edit]

the decomposition at higher temperature in copper/oxide films should be definitely included in the description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goofyseeker311 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
