Best Answer

They are both metallic elements, but other than that they are not particularly similar:

  • they have different malleability and tensile strength
  • they have dissimilar atomic weights
  • they have different conductivity
  • they have different susceptibility to oxidization
  • iron is ferrous and copper is not
  • there is considerable difference in their economic value

Brass is least similar because it is an alloy (mixture) while other are pure elements.


What happen when copper sulphate is stored in iron vessel?

Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.


How do you do copper coating on iron powder?

Contacting the iron powder with an aqueous solution of copper (II) salts will produce a copper coating on iron powder: Iron is higher in the electromotive series than copper and therefore will displace copper from the solution, resulting in copper-coated iron and dissolved iron cations. When all of the surface of the iron powder has been coated with copper, the iron will stop reacting because it no longer has access to the copper ions in solution, the access of the iron being blocked by the layer of copper coating the remaining iron powder.


How are copper and bronze the similar?

Because they are both metals. Copper is one of the elements that makes bronze. The other element is iron. So bronze is an alloy. An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals. Therefore, they are iron and copper. So copper and bronze are mostly different, except the fact they are both metals.
