if the following reacts with barium nitrate what would the molecular equation be and would a reaction occur.

CuSO4
CuCl2
CuCO3
CuBr2

Answer 1

CuSO₄ soluble in water;
CuCl₂ soluble in water;
CuCO₃ insoluble in water;
CuBr₂ soluble in water;

CuCO₃ (s) + 2HNO₃ (aq) = Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq) + H₂O (l) + CO₂ (g);
CuSO₄ (aq) + Ba(NO₃)₂ (aq) = BaSO₄ (s) + Cu(NO₃)₂ (aq);
