Copper metal is an element and thus a pure substance.
How do you recycle grass-coloured copper?
we recycle grass copper by putting it through a sinthenizer. this cleans and breaks it down into 3 parts: moloculer, radaculer and pure. pure is most expenive and used for coins.
Is copper solute or solvent?
No. Copper is an element.
Which methods is used to obtain pure copper sulphate from impure sample and how?
by crystallisation, we can get pure copper sulphate crystals

Is copper wire a mechanical mixture?
It should be a "pure" substance, but its really an alloy.
Is copper pure form?
yes copper is a pure form
Is copper a pure substance or a mixture?
Copper is a pure substance.
Is copper wire a pure substance?
No. Copper used in wiring would not qualify as laboratory-grade (pure). It would be far too expensive to manufacture and would not improve the conductivity enough to make a difference. Some copper wire is even plated. Laboratory-grade (pure) copper is a single substance, the element copper.
Whether the resistivity of copper or its alloy is greater?
Copper alloy is often used in preference to pure copper due to its hardenss. Pure metals are usually soft and can be cut easily. They are not suitable for making any hard bodies. Therefore, alloys are used.
Is copper is a pure substance?
Yes, copper is an element, which is a pure substance.
Is copper sulfate a pure substance?
Pure:CuSO4(H2O)5
Is Electrical Wire Pure Copper?
First off, not all electrical wiring is copper. There's a fair bit of aluminium wiring being used too, as well as some other alloys. "Pure" is a difficult word. You can have copper that is purer than what's used for electrical wiring. But outside a lab setting, copper wire is indeed pretty darn pure.
Are copper coins pure copper?
Pure copper has not been used to make British coins for about 150 years. From 1860, British "copper" coins were made from bronze which consisted mostly of copper varying from 95 to 97% copper. From 1992, British "copper" coins were made from copper plated steel. Ironically, copper is used to make modern "silver" coins (cupro-nickel) consisting usually of 75% copper and 25% nickel.
Why is an alloy of copper and zinc used to make candlesticks rather than pure copper?
I believe the copper needs support with the zinc as a filler. Copper is a soft metal.
