Is copper more reactive than iron give a reaction in support of your answer?
ShreyashRajfb3009
Cu is much less reactive than Fe, because it is possible to find natural Cu nuggets and it is not possible to find natural Fe nuggets. The only natural form of metallic Fe that occurs is in NiFe alloy meteors, which formed in space not on earth and the surface of these meteors rusts rapidly after landing.

When a piece of zinc is put into a copper sulphate solution there is a mispalcement why does this happen?
It is because zinc is more reactive than copper and hence replaces copper from its solution.For your convenience, here is the reactive series of elements in order of decreasing reactivity:-Potassiumsodiumbariumcalciummagnesiumaluminiummanganesezincironnickeltinleadhydrogencoppermercurysilvergoldplatinum
A reactive metallic element Its compounds give fireworks green colors?
The element copper makes the blue-green fireworks.
Does sodium tarnish?
Sodium does not tarnish in the same way that metals like silver or copper do. However, sodium is highly reactive and easily reacts with moisture or other substances in the air, forming sodium oxide or sodium hydroxide on its surface. This can give the appearance of tarnish, but it is actually a chemical reaction rather than oxidation of the metal itself.
Will copper and silver nitrate react?
Give balanced equation when copper reacts with silver nitrate.Add: 2AgNO3 + Cu ---> Cu(NO3)2 + 2AgThis is a single replacement reaction in which copper replaces the silver in the silver nitrate, resulting in the formation of elemental silver, which will precipitate out of solution.
Give properties of starch that make it a suitable storage carbohydrate?
non reactive
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

Why does copper give off no hydrogen when reacting in water?
because it isn't a reactive metal
Why use copper powder not a piece of copper in an experiment?
To give a higher surface area for the reaction
What does copper chloride split up to give?
copper and chlorine This would require a chemical reaction.
A reactive metallic element Its compounds give fireworks green colors?
The element copper makes the blue-green fireworks.
What happens if you add zinc to copper sulfate And what happens if you add gold to copper sulfate?
Adding zinc to copper sulfate will result in a displacement reaction that will create copper metal to precipitate as a solid. CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) ---> ZnSO4 + Cu(s) This reaction is quite exothermic too, meaning it will give off alot of heat - enough to make it too hot to hold the reaction beaker in bare hands.
Is a copper metal and acid that give no reaction a physical or chemical property?
The chemical reactivity is a chemical property.
Reaction between an acid and a metal?
Usually, an acid reacts with a metal to form a metal salt and hydrogen. However this depends if the metal is reactive or not. For example, magnesium, (Mg) is a violently reactive metal to hydrochloric acid; therefore, making magnesium chloride and hydrogen: Magnesium+Hydrochloric acid=Magnesium chloride+Hydrogen Also, if an experiment takes place, between a metal and a acid, bubbles will appear showing hydrogen. But remember, only with reactive metals! However, if the metal is nonreactive it will not react with dilute acids such as;sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid and nitric acid. Take copper for example. Copper is nonreactive to dilute acids. However, a brief reaction still takes place, but not all the copper will react. When the reaction takes place a layer of either copper sulfate, copper chloride, or copper nitrate will form between the dilute acid and the copper. Not all the copper has reacted, (only a layer). This layer with the remaining copper is insoluble in water, and quickly forms a coating around the copper which prevents further attacks from acids. You can also know if metals are nonreactive or reactive, by looking at the reactivity series. They go in order starting with the most reactive. Most reactive 1. Potassium2. Sodium3. Calcium4.magnesium5.aluminum6.Zinc7.Iron Least reactive 8. Tin 9. Lead 10. Copper 11. Silver 12. Gold 13. Platinum
Why would acyl halides give higher yields of amides compared to carboxylic acids for esters on reaction with ammonia?
acyl halides are more reactive
What happens when you mix copper sulphate solution and zinc?
Adding zinc to copper sulfate will result in a displacement reaction that will create copper metal to precipitate as a solid. CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) ---> ZnSO4 + Cu(s) This reaction is quite exothermic too, meaning it will give off alot of heat - enough to make it too hot to hold the reaction beaker in bare hands.
What are chemical properties for sodium?
Sodium is a highly reactive metal. It reacts with water to give sodium hydroxide, and with carbon dioxide to give sodium carbonate. It the reaction with oxygen, the principal product is sodium peroxide.
