Decomposition Of HS-Copper(II) Nitrate For The Synthesis Of Sulfur

This paper outlines the preparation of nitrogen dioxide through nitrate decomposition and is commonly used for the production of sulfur for many smelting processes according to Wikipedia. They say when it rains, it pours. This is not an entirely accurate saying, but it does make for an appropriate catch phrase that can embody the precious lesson I was able to derive from this technical article in regards to the decomposition of HS-Copper(II) Nitrate for the synthesis of sulfur. Factors such as being oriented and cleaning out your reaction vessel can go a long way towards making your experiments more successful after all! What is HS-Copper(II) Nitrate? HS-Copper 2(NO3) Cl is a bright green compound meaning it is easily oxidized. Many copper compounds are colored with copper ions and they all work in the same way. Cu2+ forms an octahedral complex or MXO4. There are many different complexes of copper ions, but in HS-copper II(NO3) cl, there are four nitric acid molecules instead of two.
