Why is is economical to use scrap iron to get copper?
Because you are using scrap metal rather than iron that is needed
How Leaching carried out in low grade copper ores?
Copper is leached out using acid or bacteria. The solution containing Cu2+ ions is treated with scrap or H2 to recover copper. Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) ---------> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq) Cu2+(aq) + H2(g) ---------> Cu(s) + 2H+(aq)
What is the name of the method where plants are used to extract metals from soil?
its quite simple the plants take the metal in through there roots and then you burn them to release the metals.l
Why is it too expensive to extract copper from contaminated land?
It takes a lot energy to extract some metals from their ores. It can be done by smelting or by electrolysis, both of which require lots of energy. In smelting this comes in the form of carbon (coal or similar), while in electrolysis it comes in the form of electricity. Another reason for the cost is because you need to look for, and then dig up the original ore which is expensive, and finally transport the ore or the copper to its final destination. However copper is not THE most expensive metal to extract. The more reactive the metal, the more expensive it is to extract. Metals like lead, do not really react much and are require less energy to extract. Copper is nearer to this end - not too reactive. In fact gold does not react at all and is found in its pure state. At the other end are metals like sodium, potassium and aluminum which would really much rather stay in their ore. These take a lot of energy to extract and can only be done by electrolysis.
Can copper be extracted from its compounds using carbon?
yes

How can copper be extracted using scrap iron nothing it doesnt work that way?
by using the copper nothing reacts to anything further noticed, will happen than that.
Why is it economical to use scrap iron to get copper?
By using scrap iron, you are not using iron which can be used elsewhere, like in buildings. It also saves money on sourcing and extracting new iron.

How do you extract copper using dilute acid?
If you want to extract copper using dilute acid you must use sulphuric dilute acid. Pour it into a container and add some copper oxide (it's powder, I'm not sure if that's it's name) then take another container and put some filter paper on it and pour the mixture into that. It should look blue. Then add some filings into it and they should turn pink.
What are the advantages of using copper gutters rather than other materials?
Copper gutters have the advantage of not rusting, although they are more expensive to install. Annual maintenance must be performed to prevent the copper from tarnishing.
How can you extract nickel from nickel-plated stainless steel scrap?
it is extracted using physical changes. use of electrical cells equipped with inert cathodes is most common technology in extracting nickel
New methods using bacteria fungi and plants are being developed to extract copper suggest three reasons why these new methods have been developed?
it will be cheaper ?
Is there 2 advantages using fossil fuels?
Yes.they are relatively easy to extract (for now);many engines are designed to work off fossil fuels.
