Do I have partial hydrolysis of copper acetate?
I have a few hundred 0,5 - 1mm copper acetate crystals coloured deep blue black in a solution mixed with thousands of very tiny particles of bright
turquoise colour (that are still evapourating after many days). Is the latter expected? I do believe I added enough acetic acid during the process
having taken the advice of many comments on this forum from the past. But I do not know how to recognise hydrolysis in this instance, googling images
turned up nothing in this respect. Thankyou.

Chymical Pulverization.’ (John Friend, Chymical Lectures London, 1712)
