Depends on the acids you're mixing the copper with!
It can form complex compounds of copper and oxygen, and release carbon dioxide gas (fizzing).
When copper metal is mixed with hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced along with copper chloride as a byproduct. The chemical reaction can be represented by the equation: Cu + 2HCl → CuCl2 + H2.
When acid is mixed with copper, the gas given off is hydrogen. This reaction produces hydrogen gas, as the acid dissolves the copper to form copper ions and hydrogen gas is released as a byproduct.
When copper carbonate is heated, it decomposes to form copper oxide and carbon dioxide gas, leaving behind copper oxide residue. When copper carbonate is mixed with acids to produce copper salts, a blue residue may be left behind.
This is because vinegar is an acid and acids react with metals and a gass will be produced. so- VINEGAR +PENNIES (COPPER) = GAS
When hydrochloric acid is mixed with copper, a redox reaction occurs where hydrogen gas is produced and copper chloride is formed. The copper metal dissolves into the solution, turning it blue-green. Heat is also given off during the reaction.
When copper (II) sulfate (CuSO4) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) are mixed together, carbon dioxide gas is produced. This gas forms bubbles in the solution, which are composed of carbon dioxide gas escaping from the reaction mixture.
When natural gas (methane) and air are properly mixed, a blue flame is produced.
1. Ammonia (gas, NH3) and copper (solid, Cu) cannot be mixed. 2. Ammonia can react with copper salts in water solutions.
When copper carbonate decomposes, it produces carbon dioxide gas along with copper oxide as a residue.
Copper is unreactive and will not react with acids to liberate hydrogen gas. However it may react if concentrated and oxidising acids are used.
Hydrogen gas is produced when any metal reacts with acids. This is a common reaction that is often used to test for the presence of metal in a substance.
