The ability of a base to react with a soluble metal salt

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

CuSO4 (aq) + NaOH → Cu (OH) 2 (s) + Na2SO4 (aq)

A strong base (NaOH) can easily react with a soluble metal salt (CuSO4) and displace it.

The reaction between CuSO4 and NaOH is a double displacement reaction.
