| 1. | This ingredient maintains cupric ions in solution at an alkaline pH.
|
| 2. | It may also be regarded as the cupric salt of phosphoric acid.
|
| 3. | It can also be prepared photochemically, by irradiating cupric hypophosphite with ultraviolet radiation.
|
| 4. | Many popular vitamin supplements include copper as small inorganic molecules such as cupric oxide.
|
| 5. | Cupric sulfate was not as efficient as mercuric oxide, and yielded lower protein results.
|
| 6. | Polyols, compounds containing more than one alcohol functional group, generally interact with cupric salts.
|
| 7. | Thus activation by strongly Lewis acidic cupric tetrafluoroborate was required to allow for the reaction to take place.
|
| 8. | However, while it was very effective, health concerns resulted in it being replaced by cupric sulfate.
|
| 9. | When heated, it thermally decomposes to form CO 2 and CuO, cupric oxide, a black solid.
|
| 10. | The basic copper carbonates, malachite and azurite, both decompose forming CO 2 and CuO, cupric oxide.
