There are 2 copper chlorides.

Copper I chloride (cuprous chloride) is insoluble in water.

Copper II chloride (cupric chloride) is very soluble in water.

[evansp12]

Thanks!

[qrais]

It is kind of green at the beginning, could it be Cu(II) burning in the beginning? At the en though it is definitely Cu(I) because of its blue color.

[BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

@qrais It's in burning ethanol, which produces a blue flame.

[fanferbtheman]

if you added boron and baking soda it might blow up

[SuperJohnny246]

Anybody know if this would work with fire poi?

[BruceNJeffAreMyFlies]

@SuperJohnny246 Yes it would.

[tagimbul]

for fire poi or fire staff use CuCl2 with petrol ^^

[HardstyleMusic98]

where can i get methanol?

[333xan45]

borax works to

[MyProf123]

CuCl2 burns green. But CuCl burns blue. It is a different oxidation state. Making small amounts of CuCl can be found on the net.

[1231146]

should have mixed it with alcohol so it would burn longer

[MusicRokagal1011]

wow pretty!

[TheDarkNinjato]

wonder if this is how they made the floo powder fire effect in the harry potter movies....

[dbc616]

well copper chloride is poisonous, and the floo powder was white in color, so they probably used borax.
