No. Copper is below hydrogen in the electromotive series and therefore can not displace hydrogen from its compounds.

Can copper be used be to prepare hydrogen by reaction with dilute acids?
No, this would not be a good way. Copper is very unreactive towards dilute acids.
Why copper is not used to prepare hydrogen in the laboratory?
copper doesn't displace hydrogen from acids
Reaction between copper oxide and hydrogen?
Copper and water
Is there a reaction between hydrochloric acid and and copper?
Indeed there is, the product of the reaction will be Copper Chloride (CuCl) and Hydrogen gas (H2 ).
What are the products of the reaction of copper sulfate with hydrogen peroxide?
biocide
When copper burns why doesn't it produce hydrogen?
Because burning (combustion) is an oxidation reaction and hydrogen is not implied.
Does dilute Hydrochloric acid dissolve Copper?
No, because copper is below Hydrogen in the activity series list, (meaning the presence of hydrogen is not enough to replace copper) there is no reaction that takes place.
Why does zinc reacts with DI sulfuric acid to give hydrogen gas but not copper?
If you look at reactivity series, you will find zinc to be more reactive than hydrogen while copper being less reactive than it. Therefore zinc is able to displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid while copper is not. The reaction with zinc is:- Zn + H2SO4 -------> ZnSO4 +H2 The reaction with copper is Cu + H2SO4 ---------> No reaction
What is the reaction between copper and sulfuric acid?
No, there is no reaction between copper & H2SO4 because according to reactivity series of metal hydrogen is more reactive than copper. Hence copper does not displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid..
How does copper oxide reacting with hydrogen to form copper and water involve oxidation?
In this reaction, the copper ions in copper oxide are reduced to copper atoms, and the hydrogen atoms in elemental hydrogen are oxidized from the zero oxidation state characteristic of all pure elements to the +1 oxidation state of hydrogen atoms bound into water molecules.
When hydrogen gas passed over heated cupric oxide?
When hydrogen gas passed over heated cupric oxide, the hydrogen is oxidized and displaces copper from the copper oxide as metallic copper, because hydrogen is higher than copper in the electromotive series. Water vapor is also produced by the reaction.
What is the balanced symbol equation for copper ll oxide reacting with hydrogen?
The balanced symbol equation for copper II oxide reacting with hydrogen is Cu + H2O. This reaction will create copper and water as a result.
