Copper carbonate is an inorganic compound. It commonly occurs in nature as the mineral malachite, which is actually a basic copper carbonate. Pure copper carbonate is a green, crystalline solid, but it’s rarely found in its pure form due to its tendency to combine with other substances.
Copper carbonate is often used as a pigment in ceramics and paints, providing a green color. It can also be used in chemical reactions to produce other copper compounds, and it’s involved in processes like electroplating and metal refining. When heated, copper carbonate decomposes into copper(II) oxide (CuO) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), a reaction often used in the preparation of copper oxide.
It’s worth noting that copper carbonate is toxic if ingested and can cause irritation upon contact with skin or eyes, so it should be handled with care.
For many learners high school is not enough to prepare them for what they are to face at first year university. They find themselves completely overwhelmed and intimidated by what is expected of them to be able to do in a laboratory.
Unfortunately many learners who want to pursue science subjects go through this dilemma, few as they are because fact is SA is not producing enough learners who will become engineers, doctors, science researchers, let alone science innovators.
To address this, we developed a chemistry kits with 52 experiments for use by learners at home. This gives them an opportunity to gain hand-on exposure and engagement, confidence and understanding they need to study sciences further.
The kit comes with a manual explaining how science is experienced in daily life and therefore brings awareness of the application and usefulness of science, helping the learner relate to what they learn at school.
Some schools do have kits where only the teacher demonstrates the experiments and this is great, but you don’t master driving by watching the driving instructor, you must get in the driver’s seat yourself.
