Description
A dark green crystalline powder. Copper acetate is prepared by the reaction of Acetic acid with copper oxide. The green is unstable and can leave a black residue upon decomposition. Copper acetate is also used as a Pesticide, Fungicide, Catalyst, textile Dye and as a Pigment for paints, inks, and ceramics.
See also Copper acetate, basic.
