When a salt like copper sulfate in placed in water, the ionic bonds are broken and the ions (copper cation and sulfate anion) separate and become hydrated by the water molecules. This is the case of dissolution or dissolving. In the case of copper(II) sulfate, for example, CuSO4(s) + H2O(l) ==> Cu^2+(aq) + SO4^2-(aq)
Copper does not react in water.
It doesnt
Copper has extremely low reactivity with water which is why it is used to make water pipes.
you tell me
It forms copper chloride and water.
When copper reacts with nitric acid, the copper is oxidized by the nitric acid to form copper(II) nitrate, nitrogen dioxide gas, and water. The reaction is a redox reaction where the copper is oxidized and the nitric acid is reduced.
yes it does.
Copper can also react with acids, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, to form copper salts and hydrogen gas. Additionally, copper can react with certain gases, like sulfur dioxide, to form copper sulfide.
Yes, reactivity to water is a chemical property of copper, not a physical property. Copper does not react with water at room temperature, but it can slowly react with water when exposed to high temperatures or steam to form copper oxide.
When copper is exposed to salt water, it can undergo a chemical process called corrosion. The salt water can cause the copper to react with oxygen in the air, forming copper oxide on its surface. This can lead to the degradation of the copper over time, weakening it and potentially causing it to rust or develop a patina.
The reactants are copper sulfate (CuSO4) and water (H2O). When they react, copper sulfate dissolves in water to form a homogeneous solution.
Copper sulfate is dissociated in water.
