A chemical reaction is observed.
Copper is a metal element. It is not reacting with ammonia.
1. Ammonia (gas, NH3) and copper (solid, Cu) cannot be mixed. 2. Ammonia can react with copper salts in water solutions.
When Ammonia solution is added to Copper sulphate, at first a precipitate of Copper hydroxide is formed. If excess ammonia is added, finally a deep bluish solution of Tetraamine Copper(II) Sulfate is formed
Copper sulfate (II) CuSO4 is blue; ammonia is a colorless gas. If you mix ammonia water and copper sulfate solution, you will actually form a Brilliant blue copper-ammonium complex that is very pretty. Copper sulfate is blue by itself and anhydrous ammonia is a clear gas with a choking odor.
Copper!!
Yes. Adding aqueous ammonia to copper with dissolve the copper in this reaction: Cu (s) + 2NH4OH (aq) > Cu(OH)2 (s) + 2NH4+ (aq)
Copper... the surface of the copper that's exposed to the air reacts with oxygen to create copper oxide.
Copper ammine (not a misspelling) complexes are a very deep blue.
Pieces of copper are added to hot concentrated solutions of hydrochloric, phosphoric, sulfuric and nitric acids. A reaction clearly takes place between copper and nitric acid. The presence of copper ions can be observed by adding each solution to a dilute solution of ammonia. If copper ions were present, we would see the blue color of the copper-ammonia complex. Sulfuric acid has oxidized the copper metal, as indicated by the blue color. Nitric acid is a stronger oxidizing agent (and produces a higher concentration of copper(II) ions), as indicated by the darker blue color.
The verdigris that forms on the surface of copper or bronze material exposed to the atmosphere, is generally a copper carbonate. It is not a copper oxide, which is black. Close to the sea, it will also contain basic copper chloride.
It turns blue in color. Because of Ammonia reacts with Cu+2.
NH4OH + CuSO4 = CuNH3
