Just got a new '11 GTI and trying to teach my GF a stick shift â on the hills of SF. She's been stalling the car quite a lot.
Answers. Best Answer: Copper Nitrate forms blue crystals which dissolve in water. Transition metal salts often form colored crystals. Since the other reaction product is metallic silver precipitate, and everyone knows what silver looks like, the blue is from the copper nitrate by process of elimination.The original solution was not blue because silver nitrate is colorless/slight gray when in solution and Cu(s) is just copper metal.ince the other reaction product is metallic silver precipitate, and everyone knows what silver looks like, the blue is from the copper nitrate by process of elimination.
Copper is a pinkish colour when it is new, but soon turns a reddish orange color after it is exposed to air. Copper is one of the few coloured metals. Most metals are gray or silver. Gold, copper, caesium and osmium are the only four coloured metals. Copper is green as copper(II) carbonate and copper(II) hydroxide.
