copper sulfate, or Cu(SO4)(aq). The first clue we have that it is, in fact, copper sulfate is its reaction with the ammonia solution. When the deep blue color formed(in the reaction), the solution formed is [Cu(NH3)4](OH)2(aq), which gives off a bluish color. Secondly, upon acidification of [Cu(NH3)4](OH)2(aq), we see the solution become practically colorless again, The third clue when potassium ferrocyanide is mixed with copper sulfate, it also forms a red precipitate. And last but not least, when copper sulfate reacts with steel, which is primarily iron, copper is formed. This is why the steel changed to a bronze like metal.mystery=copper sulfate
After awhile the silver will turn into copper because silver is originated from copper
Nope.
stainless steel do not turn black. anything black in them is removable. After cleaning they are good as new. Stainless steel, as its name implies, does not stain or oxidize. If you have a utensil that is turning black, it might very well be silver or silver plated. Silver does durn black or tarnish as it oxidizes. If you are certain the item is stainless, something is going on that is out of the ordinary.
No but copper or brass willNo
NO! copper turns green
Vinegar would turn this piece green quickly if it were silver. If it were stainless -it would not tarnish! Personally I like the 'bite ' method. If it's silver-you can leave a bite mark and if its stainless-there is no give-no indent or mark whatsoever. -Klondike Pete-
the silver is displaced out of the compound because the copper is more reactive. It becomes copper nitrate.
Yes. Silver tone jewelry will turn your finger green because the metal under the silver tone is probably a brass which contains copper. It is the copper that turns your finger green.
No. What causes skin to turn green is when the metal is copper or mixed with copper.
if you apply to much heat to it can cause the copper to pool at the heat source. this happens because of the different melting temperature between the 2 metals. silver usually has about 7.5% copper in it.
Real Silver has the numbers 925 on it, but fake Silver doesn't. And real silver won't fade, but will tarnish and fake will fade and turn into like a copper color.
The penny turned silver color due to a process called oxidization. Over time, the copper in the penny reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide, which appears silver in color.
