Metallic copper does not react with sodium hydroxide. But if sodium hydroxide is added into a solution of copper ions, it would form Copper(II) Hydroxide. It is a precipitate which is insoluble in water.

No, copper is not soluble in sodium hydroxide. When copper reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms a precipitate of copper hydroxide, which is insoluble in water.
When copper carbonate is added to sodium hydroxide, a chemical reaction occurs to form copper hydroxide and sodium carbonate. Copper hydroxide is a blue solid precipitate, while sodium carbonate remains as a soluble compound in the solution.
Yes, sucrose is soluble in sodium hydroxide. When mixed with sodium hydroxide in water, sucrose will dissolve to form a clear solution.
When copper reacts with sodium hydroxide, it forms a blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide. This reaction can be used to test for the presence of copper ions in a solution. Copper(II) hydroxide is sparingly soluble in water and easily decomposes into copper(II) oxide and water.
Sodium oxide is soluble in water and will react with water to form sodium hydroxide. The resulting solution will be basic because of the presence of sodium hydroxide.
When copper sulfate and sodium hydroxide are mixed, a blue precipitate of copper hydroxide is formed. This is because the hydroxide ions from sodium hydroxide react with the copper ions from copper sulfate to form the insoluble copper hydroxide. The net ionic equation for this reaction is Cu^2+ (aq) + 2OH^- (aq) → Cu(OH)2 (s).
