What is the heat of formation for Copper Hydroxide solid, I've been looking everywhere for this and I can't seem to find it. I'm pretty sure you can't separate it into copper and hydroxide ions since Copper Hydroxide is a solid.  Cu(OH)₂. To be more specific I need the specific heat of Cu(OH)₂ in kJ/mol

Is there an equation it's in where you know the heat of reaction, so you can be all crafty and use heat of rxn = heat of formation of products - reactants?

The ionic equation I'm using with the heat of reaction equation is as follows

Cu²⁺ + 2Na⁺ + 2OH^-  Cu(OH)₂(s) + 2Na⁺ 2NO₃^- everything besides Cu(OH)2 is aqueous. Is there any way to find it through this?

Wow, I forgot about this site. Sorry if you've given up on me!
I'm still willing to help if I can.
Do you know the heat of reaction? If so, you can find the heat of formation of Cu(OH)2 using this equation:
heat of reaction = (heat of formation of Cu(OH)2 + (Hf NO3-)X2) - (Hf Cu2+ + (Hf OH-)X2).
notice, you don't even have to bother with the Na, because it is the same on both sides of the equation, and therefore will cancel out.
