Copper sulfate will interact with and corrode aluminum. If this aluminum is a pontoon on a boat, the corrosion will puncture holes in the pontoons, so make sure that everyone onboard has a life preserver.

What is the reaction when aluminum is added to copper sulfate?
The reaction forms aluminum sulfate and frees copper.
When Aluminum is allowed to react with the copper sulfate What is the Limiting reagent?
usually it will be copper sulfate as a limiting reagent
What is the chemical equation for the reactions when copper is added to aluminum sulfate?
There is no reaction at all.
What type of reaction is it when aluminum reacts with copper II sulfate?
Single-Replacment
What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?
Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.
Why does copper ii sulfate react with aluminum?
Yes. Iron is more reactive than copper, so will displace it from a compound. If you put a piece of iron into copper sulfate solution, it will be soon coated with a deposit of orangey red copper.CuSO4 + Fe --> FeSO4 + Cu
If 0.25 g of Aluminum react with 0.6g of Copper sulfate then which one is the limiting reactant?
Aluminum would be the limiting reagent
What is the Formula for copper (I) sulfate?
Copper sulfate has CuSO4 as its formula. Copper sulfate is also written copper (II) sulfate.
What is the formula for copper(I) sulfate?
Copper sulfate has CuSO4 as its formula. Copper sulfate is also written copper (II) sulfate.
Is copper sulfate a metal?
Copper sulfate is not a metal There are two compounds called Copper Sulfate, which are salts of the metal Copper. CuSO4 is Copper (II) Sulfate, once known as Cupric Sulfate. Cu2SO4 is Copper (I) Sulfate, once known as Cuprous Sulfate.
What is the balance equation when aluminum reacts with copper sulfate?
2Al + 3CuSO4 = Al2(SO4)3 + 3Cu
Is copper sulfate black?
Copper sulfate is not black. Combined with water, as hydrated copper sulfate, it is blue. Without water, as anhydrous copper sulfate, it is white.
