CHEMICAL FAMILY : INORGANIC COPPER SALT
Copper i chloride
It is a copper salt made from copper and chlorine. Thus it is a salt of group 1b(copper group) with chlorine. It is a salt resulting due to copper having valencies 1 and 2 . Cu+1 salts are generally colourles and dimagnetic. These are less stable and have tendency to be converted to cu+2 salts.
It becomes green when exposed to air. It is photosensitive and turns brown when exposed to light . Occurs in nature as mineral mantokite.
Cucl forms a soluble complex with conc. HCL but seperates out as milky white crystalline precipitate when the solution is poured in water. It dissolves in aquous NH3 forming a colorless solution due to the formation of complex Cu(NH3)4Cl. A solution of CuCl in HCL or ammonia in used in gas analysis for the absorption of Co with which it form colourless crystals Co Carbonyl compound CuClCo2H2O.
