Not under "normal" conditions.

I have made very fine gauge copper wire explode by putting a few thousand amperes through it, but that was not the copper specifically exploding. Any fine gauge wire regardless of what it is made of with that much current passing through it heats rapidly and vaporizes, producing an explosion.

Which atoms are found in copper sulphate?

Copper Sulphate is composed of copper, sulfur, and oxygen. The chemical formula is CuSO4.


Do copper sulphate crystals have cleavage planes?

No, copper sulphate crystals do not have cleavage planes because they are not considered minerals with cleavage. Cleavage is the tendency of a mineral to break along specific planes due to its crystal structure, which copper sulphate does not exhibit. Instead, copper sulphate crystals tend to break irregularly along their structure.


What is each type of atom in copper sulphate?

Copper sulphate is either CuSO4 or Cu2(SO4)3 depending on the oxidation number of the copper atom. Therefore, there are three types of atoms in copper sulphate - copper, sulfur and oxygen.


We are using 5 percent solution of copper sulphate processing 140 ton per hour and consume 885 gm of copper sulphate per 1 ton of ore. what would be the usage of copper sulphate in liters per hour?

885x140=123900grams of copper sulphate per hour. If you are talking about using 885 gm of copper sulphate per ton of ore in the solution then the density of the copper sulphate(penta hydrate now because it's in water) is 2.284 gm per cm3 so that's 2.284x5=11.42gm per liter of solution, so 123900/11.42=10849.387 liters of copper sulphate(pentahydrate) per hour, NOTE:this is only how much copper sulphate is being used total in the solution which is 30% of the total liters used of solution because 25% of the water is inside the copper sulphate, the other 70% is just water. If you want the liters per hour of solution total, it is 34964.62 litres per hour of your 5% solution. I hope this was what you were looking for, I saw noone had answered and decided to try and get you what you needed.


Why does the color of copper sulphate change when an iron nail dipped in it?

When an iron nail is placed in a copper sulphate solution, iron displaces copper from copper sulphate solution forming iron sulphate, which is green in colour.Therefore, the blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades and green colour appears.

Is copper sulphate toxic?

Yes, copper sulfate is toxic if ingested in large amounts. It can cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, and in severe cases, even death. It is important to handle copper sulfate with care and follow proper safety precautions.


What do copper sulphate crystals form when a hot saturated solution of copper sulphate is cooled?

Copper sulphate crystals form when a hot saturated solution of copper sulphate is cooled down. As the solution cools, the solubility of copper sulphate decreases, causing the excess copper sulphate to come out of the solution and form crystals.


What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?

The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!


How does copper and zinc sulphate react together?

zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed

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


What doesn't react with iron sulphate but deposits copper in copper sulphate?

Iron is more reactive than copper.


Does copper sulphate dissolved in water?

Yes, copper sulphate can dissolve in water. When added to water, copper sulphate dissociates into copper ions (Cu2+) and sulphate ions (SO4 2-), forming a blue-colored solution.
