Which one of these have a green solution? Cupric citrate, cuprous citrate, cupric tatrate, or cuprous tartrate? Please let me know.

Cu
2+
because Cu
+
is not existing there. Cu
+
exist in my opinion only as oxide, sulfide and (pseudo)halogenide.
I am not sure if citric or tatratic can complex such kind of things.

By the way, it is dark green. When more water evaporated it even looked a bit yellow.

Cupric salts can show both blue and green solutions as well especially in the presence of chloride ions due to formation of the [CuCl
4
]
2-
ion.
I don't think it is a cuprous salt since Cu
+
is unstable in solution and almost all cuprous compounds are insoluble.
Again.. cupric citrate is supposed to be insoluble.
Cupric tartrate is highly soluble since the tartrate ions form a stable complex with copper. So it is most likely cupric tartrate although I'm not absolutely sure...
