Add table salt to water, congrats you made ions!

Fag for responding to troll.

Why great, thank you. How are you doing?

School is done and I have to return to my summer job. Such is life though.

As if there are more than 5 people here who even have a B.S.

Yes, when you think about it there are only really 3 things in this reaction.

Hydrogen, the nitrate ion, and the copper.

You know copper wont bond in any way with the hydrogen, so that means there is only one possible other arrangement of these besides the given starting materials.

Now that you know that, you have to make sure that the charge is balanced on the copper nitrate, which is what leads you to the decision that there are two nitrate ions per copper.

You just have to be comfortable with chemistry, when you look at enough reactions and know how mechanisms work, predicting simple molecule reactions gets pretty easy.

Read Stephen Hawking's "A brief history of time"

This had better be a troll thread.

If you wikipedia copper nitrate this exact reaction is listed.

Cu + 4 HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2 H2O + 2 NO2

Perhaps a copper complex then, or unreactive.

Perhaps copper nitrate?

Sorry, don't know much about inorganic reactions

Easy for an past orgo student
1, 2, 4 Trimethyl benzene

Massive, if feasible at all.
