    1. Add excess copper carbonate to dilute hydrochloric acid until no more reacts.

      Filter the mixture to remove the extra copper carbonate.

      Heat the solution gently to evaporate some water until crystals start to form.

      Leave the solution to cool so that crystals of copper salt form.
