COPPER ACETATE HYDRATE

Copper acetate hydrate (Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂·xH₂O) is a blue-green crystalline compound where “x” represents the number of water molecules associated with each copper acetate unit. Commonly, it is found as the monohydrate (Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂·H₂O) or as the trihydrate (Cu(C₂H₃O₂)₂·3H₂O). It is used in chemical synthesis, as a catalyst in various reactions, and in the production of pigments and dyes. The hydrate form provides easier handling and better stability for certain applications compared to its anhydrous counterpart.
