It is not majorly deadly, but can melt thin metals in less than a minute.

What element is CuSO4 5H20?

CuSO4.5H2O is hydrated copper sulphate ; a COMPOUND, not an element. However, it comntains the elements ;- 1 x Cu = 1 Copper 1 x S = 1 x Sulphur 4 x O =- 4 x Oxygen 5 X 2 = 10 x H = 10 Hydrogens 5 x 1 = 5 = 5 Oxygens. So hydrated copper sulphate comtains the elements , copper, sulphur, oxygen , hydrogen , and oxygen (water).

Does zinc react with iron sulphate?

Zinc and iron sulphate do react. Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than iron. It can therefore displace sulphate from the iron and 'take' the sulfate. Zinc + Iron Sulphate ------------> Zinc Sulphate + Iron The reactivity series is as follows: Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum There are many clever ways to remember this too. This is the metal reactivity series BTW(by the way)


How are crystals of copper sulphate prepared?

You need to start with a copper compound and react it with an acid to get the salt you want. If you use hydrochloric acid you will get a chloride; if you use nitric acid you will get a nitrate. You asked for copper sulphate so can you decide for yourself which acid you need? You will need to put this in a conical flask and heat it - if you're heating acids you must wear protective goggles - and add some copper oxide. This is black. It will react and form a blue solution. You need to be sure you have used up all your acid so you must use enough copper oxide to have some left over. Stop heating and filter it to get rid of the rest of the copper oxide. You want to get rid of the water now - if you want to be quick you can evaporate it by placing it in an evaporating basin on top of a beaker of boiling water. If you have time you can just leave it to evaporate slowly at room temperature. If you do it this way you will get nicer, bigger crystals. Why do you think this is? Look carefully at your crystals to see what shape they are.

Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.


Why you use alcohol in preparation of tetraamine copper 2 sulphate monohydrate?

we use ethanol to decrease the solubility of ammonia in water,so that ammonia easily combines with copper in less polar environment now..in this way solubility is decreased and the complex i.e tetraammine copper 2 sulphate crystallizes out..


How does Copper Sulfate react to carbon steel?

Copper sulphate solution testA 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.

What are some reversible chemical reactions?

Examples of reversible chemical reactions - hydrous copper sulphate (blue) heated becomes anhydrous copper sulphate (white). When water is added, the reaction is reversed. Nitrogen dioxide (reddish brown gas) reacts to form colourless dinitrogen tetroxide, this reaction can go the other way also. Hydrogen and oxygen react to form water. This molecule can be split back into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.

Where can you find copper on HorseIsle version 2?

I am not sure if there is any places in caves where copper can be found. But one way to get it would be to have a ranch and put a copper mine on it for 20,000. This will produce 30 copper nuggets everyday.
