it is a very simple formation of cupric hydroxide as solid ppts. Cu(NO3)2 + 2KOH = Cu(OH)2 + 2KNO3

∙ 15y agoWhen solid cupric nitrate reacts with aqueous potassium hydroxide, the following chemical reaction occurs: Cu(NO3)2 + 2KOH -> Cu(OH)2 + 2KNO3. The deep blue precipitate formed is cupric hydroxide (Cu(OH)2), which is insoluble in water and thus appears as a solid in the test tube.
