:Talk:Copper(II) acetate

Have a look at this thread on Science Madness http://www.sciencemadness.org/talk/viewthread.php?tid=10948#pid201370

I have repeated the ammonia method, and it does work, but I am unsure why it is up on here as the only method.

There are numerous others that work with easier reagents and produce a cleaner result. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.166.135.15 (talk) 22:52, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Copper (II) Acetate should be Cu(CH3COO)2, not Cu2(CH3COO)4. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.218.225.4 (talk) 16:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

:That is very true if we were presenting the empirical formula (and benzene would be CH, not C6H6), but the way the formula is presented is also intended to describe the fact that the molecule is a dimer. The acetates often have complex structures. --Smokefoot (talk) 19:07, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Ona German substance database, http://biade.itrust.de/biade/lpext.dll?f=templates&fn=main-h.htm, is sais the solubility at 20C for the monohydrate is 72 grams/100ml water. You can retrieve this value by clicking the "suche" tab, and entering kupfer acetat in the "Stoffname" box. Click on the Phys.-chem. Eigenschaften link to watch the data.

Where does the solubility data for this substance come from? Other sources for solubility data for it are welcome too. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Spidey71 (talk • contribs) 14:55, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

:Thanks for the tip. I got some more precise data on the 20C solubility. Probably the solubility data in the German article is incorrect.--Smokefoot (talk) 19:15, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

For the temperature dependent solubility data: "hot" and "cold" are not temperatures. So it is meaningless to report the solubility in "hot" or "cold" water Science Is My Life (talk) 12:15, 28 June 2022 (UTC)

Jacques Cousteau mentions the use of cupric acetate tablets that aqualung divers wore strapped to their ankles as shark repellent (he refers to these as 'fly-tox' in The Silent World ch10). While I do not know if this was or could be effective, maybe it is worth a mention in the history section? --217.43.4.222 (talk) 22:38, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Copper(II) acetate. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=795246270 my edit]. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Are the crystals on the copper wire copper(II) acetate (they look dark red rather than blue green) or are they the copper(I) acetate mentioned under related compounds?150.227.15.253 (talk) 11:31, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

the decomposition at higher temperature in copper/oxide films should be definitely included in the description. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goofyseeker311 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

This article is linked to by the Absinthe article, where it is claimed that copper salts added to cheap imitation Absinthe may have been the cause for its hallucinagenic reputation. I was hoping this article would discuss effects of ingestion... presumably this has been studied, for the purposes of MSDS if nothing else? Fieari (talk) 00:35, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
