Problem

Consider the proposed net ionic equation below: Cu2+(aq)+OH−(aq)  →  Cu(OH)2(s)\text{Cu}^{2+}(aq)+\text{OH}^-(aq)\;\rightarrow\;\text{Cu(OH)}_2(s) Does this equation satisfy conservation of mass and charge? Identify which conservation law, if any, is violated and justify your answer briefly.
