Yes and no. If you melt the bar into a liquid copper, than yes, if you just bang on it until it forms into awire shape, then no
Physical. It is simply changing the shape or configuration of solid copper to another shape. Chemical changes cannot be reversed.
Forming a bar of gold into wire is a physical change. This is because the gold is being physically reshaped without undergoing a chemical reaction. The properties and composition of the gold remain the same throughout the process.
The copper wire will undergo a redox reaction where it will displace iron from iron sulfate solution, forming copper sulfate and solid iron. The color of the solution will change to blue as copper sulfate forms. Over time, the copper wire will start to dissolve and the iron will start to plate out onto the wire.
When a copper wire is heated in a Bunsen burner flame, the copper's color changes to become a glowing red. It won't be restored to its original appearance after cooling. Instead, it becomes a black material called copper (II) oxide, which is 79.9% copper and 20.1% oxygen (was 100% copper before it was burned). This chemical change occurred as the oxygen in the air combined with the copper during the heating process.
Stretching wire into copper is a physical change because the composition of the material remains the same. The rearrangement of copper atoms in the wire does not alter the chemical identity of the substance.
If you meant to ask, "Is stretching copper into wire a physical or chemical change", it's a physical change.
When copper wire is dipped in ferrous sulfate solution, a displacement reaction occurs where copper displaces iron from ferrous sulfate, forming copper sulfate and iron. As a result, the copper wire will become coated with a reddish-brown deposit of iron.
Phisical
Copper is reshaped, but it's molecular structure does not change ;)
Copper is reshaped, but it’s molecular structure does not change.
When a copper wire is heated with a Bunsen burner, it undergoes oxidation as it reacts with oxygen in the air, forming copper(II) oxide (CuO) on its surface. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: 2Cu + O2 -> 2CuO.
No, drawing copper into wire is a physical change because the chemical composition of copper remains the same throughout the process. The transformation involves only a change in shape and size, not in the chemical properties of the copper atoms.
