You will propose a procedure for the malachite synthesis using the materials available and the following chemical reaction:
2CuSO₄​⋅5H₂O(aq)+2Na₂CO₃​(aq)⟶CuCO₃​⋅Cu(OH)₂( s)+2Na₂​SO₄​(aq)+CO₂​( g)+9H₂O

(1 Hint: First, you have to prepare solutions of copper(II) sulfate and sodium carbonate. You will need about 5.0 g of CuSO₄​⋅5H₂​O and 3.0 g of Na₂​CO₃​.
You can dissolve each reagent in 20−25 mL of deionized water. Then you mix two solutions.
Below is a list of questions to guide you in the development of your procedure. Answer each of these questions before writing your procedure.

1. Can you make the solutions in a beaker, or should they be prepared in volumetric flasks? Is the amount of water important? Explain your reasoning.
