David O Reilly Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I want to make a reagent with cupric chloride. I watched a video showing placing copper in a jar, then adding hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide. After stirring he ended up with a green solution, however my recipe says I need 30 grams of cupric chloride, so how do I get a solid (powder) rather than a liquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chenbeier Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Boil it until all water is gone. Or put it in a ball and wait some day until the water is vaporized slowly. Result you would get nice crystalls of copper chloride Edited February 9, 2019 by chenbeier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper chloride is hygroscopic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
