Copper sulphate solution test
A simple 5 percent copper sulphate solution, applied in the same way as the water drop test, should confirm the differences between non-stainless steels and stainless steels. A metallic copper coloured deposit should form easily on non-stainless steels, but the solution should remain free of copper colour if the sample is a stainless steel.
Copper sulfate turns carbon steel a copper/rust color.
IF THE COPPER SULFATE DISSOLVES IN WATER, HAS A BLUE COLOR. WHEN STEEL WOOL IS MIXED WITH COPPER SULFATE,, THE STEEL WOOL DISSAPEARS, A BROWNISH SOLID FORMS, AND THE COLOR OF THE SOLUTION CHANGES FROM BLUE TO GREEN.Copper is produced.
NO
I think basically what happens is a single replacement (or maybe double?) but copper will be drawn from the copper sulfate and form on the outside of the steel wool. If it's a double replacement then something in the steel wool will replace the copper and you'll have a new sulfate solution. I remember doing this lab in chemistry a number of years back, so sorry that I can't remember all the details. T_T
Just add it to the solution and the copper will precipitate out.
Fe + CuSO4 -> FeSo4 + Cu it's a single replacement reaction The steel wool becomes copper plated.
Carbon react with iron forming carbides in steel.

NO
Carbon Steel is much stronger metal.
steel is an alloy of iron and about 0.1%-0.3% carbon. bronze is an alloy of copper+ tin....( not steel)
Yes
Carbon is not a type of metal.
will carbon steel pipe touching copper pipe cause electrolysis in plumbing situations using water.

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
Just add it to the solution and the copper will precipitate out.
