What Is Copper(II) Chloride Used For?

Electrolysis of copper(II) chloride solution with inert electrodes deposits pink copper on the cathode and releases chlorine at the anode, a clear demonstration of how ions are discharged; run it in a fume cupboard or a well-ventilated room. Dropping zinc granules or an iron nail into the solution shows displacement, as copper coats the metal and the colour fades.

A little of the salt on a clean wire gives a blue-green flame, used in flame-test comparisons, and adding sodium hydroxide solution gives a pale blue copper(II) hydroxide precipitate for cation identification. Copper(II) chloride is harmful and toxic to aquatic life, so collect waste solutions for proper disposal instead of pouring them down the sink — good practice in any school chemistry lab.

Frequently Asked Questions

What pack size is Copper Chloride (II) SCI-174/141?
Copper Chloride (II) SCI-174/141 is supplied as a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade material, with an MSDS. A smaller pack is listed separately in the catalogue, so name the product code you need when asking for a quotation.

Why is Copper Chloride (II) used in electrolysis practicals?
Copper Chloride (II) solution shows two different products at once: copper metal plating onto the cathode and chlorine gas at the anode. This makes it a clear example of how ions are discharged during electrolysis in school chemistry.

What flame colour does Copper Chloride (II) give?
Copper Chloride (II) gives a characteristic blue-green flame, so it is a common sample in flame-test investigations. Use a clean wire loop dipped in the salt moistened with dilute hydrochloric acid, and hold it in the hottest part of the flame.

How should Copper Chloride (II) be stored and disposed of?
Keep Copper Chloride (II) tightly closed because it absorbs moisture, and store it away from food areas. Collect copper waste for disposal under your laboratory rules. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.

Who supplies Copper Chloride (II) SCI-174/141?
Copper Chloride (II) SCI-174/141 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources laboratory reagents for schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
