Precipitation of copper(II) benzoate

Two unsaturated solutions were prepared, each consisting of stoichiometric ammounts of copper(II) sulphate and sodium benzoate. Upon mixing, copper(II) benzoate precipitates as blue flakes.

Man, You need to go for a school of cameras to pick up the correct refractive index!

You are blurring the video continuously!

good video, but nothing special

@Tharosa1942 It's not a movie camera and you can't lock the focus. It's not my fault the software inside is shifting the focus all the time.

School of cameras, lol.

@endimion17 Badass Camera!

haha

You know what I'm saying?

You video these things in manual mode (I think there will be)

Then you can adjust your settings

@Tharosa1942 There is no manual mode as it's a camera for taking photos. Only one mode for taking clips, which is automatic. It's designed for recording simple clips of distant objects.

What Quantities/Ratio of each chem is required

I made a lot of copper-benzoate, it is easy to make, but it is a really toxic stuff. If you eat 1-2 gramms you can die. Not joke.

Yes, it can be filtered with a regular coffee filter. It is very insoluble. It requires lots of purifying with distilled water in order to remove sodium ions, and because Cu-benzoate is flaky, it takes a considerable ammount of time.
