Aqueous sodium chloride,

NaCl

, will not react with aqueous copper (II) sulfate,

CuSO

4

, because the two potential products are soluble in aqueous solution.

The chemical equation given to you is actually incorrect because copper (II) chloride,

CuCl

2

, is not insoluble in aqueous solution. In fact, it is quite soluble.

This means that the reaction does not produce an insoluble solid that precipitates out of solution.

Sodium chloride and copper (II) sulfate are both soluble ionic compounds that dissociate completely in aqueous solution
