When a strong base is added to the pale blue solution of cuso4, a precipitate forms and the solution above the precipitate is colorless what is the net ionic equation that describes this irreversible reaction?

Hello!

When a strong base reacts with CuSO₄ the following reaction happens:

Cu⁺² (aq) + OH⁻ (aq) → Cu (OH) ₂ (s)

This is a reaction commonly used in titration experiments. One can follow this reaction through conductive measurements since the precipitate will decrease the conductivity of the solution as it doesn't conduct electrons as well as the ions in solution.

Have a nice day!
