Detailed Product Description:

Copper(II) chloride, often called Cupric Chloride, is a yellow-brown solid

which slowly absorbs moisture to form a blue-green dihydrate.  It occurs

naturally as the very rare mineral eriochalcite. 

Copper(II) chloride dissociates in aqueous solution to give the characteristic

green color.  It is a weak Lewis Acid and a mild oxidizing agent. 

Applications:

Copper(II) Chloride is commonly used in pyrotechnics as a green coloring agent.

A major industrial application for Copper(II) Chloride is as a co-catalyst

along with Palladium (II) Chloride in the Wacker process.  In this process,

ethylene is converted into acetaldehyde using water and air.
