Description
Organic compound, adduct of urea and copper(II) formate. From water solutions crystallizes as dihydrate.
Reaction between urea and copper(II) formate.
Chemical equation:
100.00g of copper(II) formate and urea adduct dihydrate а 38.78g of urea and 72.85g of copper(II) formate tetrahydrate is required.Dissolve compounds in hot water apart and then mix solutions into one container with intense stirring. Cooling or evaporation of a solution will cause double salt crystallyzation.
Keep in its original form or under several layers of varnish at average humidity and room temperature. Do not keep crystals near heaters.
