Talk:Metathesis reaction

[edit] Doubting but not certain of the CuSO4 + NaCl example under "aqueous metathesis"
I believe that the example of copper sulfate + sodium chloride precipitating copper chloride is incorrect - At saturation, the solution would be ~2M in copper ion and sulfate, and 5.8M in Na+ and Cl-, but the solubility of CuCl2 is ~5.2M, so it's about halfway to saturated in CuCl2. Sodium sulfate should precipitate though.
OTOH, it's been a couple months since I finished general chemistry, so I'm not willing to edit it just yet.

- I'll look at it; i'm not too sure what the direction was of the author, so it'll take a few mins to see what he's after. J O R D A N [talk ] 08:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
