    What balanced equation do you get when you add colorless sodium hydroxide to blue copper (II) nitrate to produce a light blue precipitate?

    2NaOH + Cu(NO3)2 -> 2NaNO3 + Cu(OH)2

    Although the previous equation is correct, you might prefer it in this form:
    2Na+ +2OH- + Cu++ + 2(NO3)- -> 2Na+ + 2(NO3)- + Cu(OH)2
    or
    Cu++ + 2OH- -> Cu(OH)2
    The Na+ and NO3- do not participate in the reaction.
