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. What is the net chemical equation that describes this reaction? Include the phases of all species in the chemical equation.
When ammonia is then added, the precipitate dissolves and the solution turns a deep navy blue. What is the net chemical equation that describes this event? Include the phases of all species in the chemical equation.
