Explain the net chemical equation

Reference no: EM13168065

When a strong base is added to a solution of CuSO4, which is pale blue, a precipitate forms and the solution above the precipitate is colorless. The net chemical equation is Cu(2+)(aq) + 2OH(-)(aq) --> Cu(OH)2(s)

When ammonia is added the precipitate dissolves. The solution turns a deep navy blue. What is the net chemical equation?

Hints: What reacts with the ammonia- the precipitate or the free copper ion?

What is the identity of the complex formed in the second reaction?
