Description of experiment

Below follows a plain text transcript of the selected experiment.

Needed compounds:
-----------------
  sulphuric acid : H2SO4
  copper tetrammine sulfate mono hydrate : [Cu(NH3)4] SO4 . H2O

Class:
------
  elem=Cu
  precipitation

Summary:
--------
  Copper tetrammine sulfate only dissolves very slowly in not too strongly
  diluted sulphuric acid.

Description:
------------
Add some solid copper tetrammine sulfate to some sulfuric acid (appr. 30% by
weight): The crystals are covered by a pale blue gelatinous layer. This layer
causes them to dissolve very slowly, but finally they dissolve completely.
