| Specification: |
?Cupric chloride ,its cas register number is 7447-39-4. It also can be called Copper(2+) dichloride ; Copper(II) chloride (1:2) ; Cupric dichloride and Cortisone acetateCopper chloride (CuCl2) . Cupric chloride (CAS NO.7447-39-4) has weak oxidizing or reducing powers. Redox reactions can however still occur. If soluble in water, then the solutions are usually neither strongly acidic nor strongly basic. The majority of compounds in this class are slightly soluble or insoluble in water. These compounds are not water-reactive. |
