Metal Hydroxides - Copper, Iron(II) and Iron (III)

Here are some more examples of the formation of precipitates:

Copper(II) hydroxide

Copper(II) hydroxide

  • Copper ions (Cu2+) form the blue precipitate copper(II) hydroxide.
    • Cu2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → Cu(OH)2(s)
Iron(II) hydroxide

Iron(II) hydroxide

  • Iron(II) ions (Fe2+) form the green precipitate iron(II) hydroxide.
    • Fe2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) → Fe(OH)2(s)
Iron(III) hydroxide

Iron(III) hydroxide

  • Iron(III) ions (Fe3+) form the brown precipitate iron(III) hydroxide.
    • Fe3+(aq) + 3OH-(aq) → Fe(OH)3(s)
