One could give me the chemical decomposition reaction of Cu(NO3)2.5H2O under very high temperature. I know that i've obtained CuO. What are other products that could i have ?
Hello, Abdelmounaim, I think you can figure this out. First, waters of hydration will leave and so you are left with Cu(NO3)2. If your final solid is CuO, that leaves 2 N and 5O to account for.
After you try to figure out, check this site - it only differs by the number of waters of hydration. http://www.nhehs.org.uk/chemistry/_Copper_nitrate_Heating.html
