Copper ore (typically Copper Sulfide) is roasted in a Smelter furnace. Oxygen in the air burns off the Sulfur, leaving the metallic Copper in the furnace, making a mixture of Sulfur Dioxide & Sulfur Trioxide in the stack gasses. This, combined with rain water makes a mixture of Sulfurous Acid & Sulfuric Acid, aka acid rain. The EPA now requires Smelters to put scrubbers on their stacks to capture these gasses and prevent acid rain.
The Copper is further purified by casting it into to plates, which are put into a bath of Copper Sulfate and electrolytically plating the Copper onto another set of Copper plates. Contaminates in the plates cast directly from the molten Copper in the furnace settle out to the bottom of the Copper Sulfate bath tank.

Can I use standard electric power supply copper wires in making a solenoid?
No, you need DC.
What is copper suitable for?
copper is suitable for making electricty.
If you needed to use powdered copper (II) sulfate in an experiment and were only supplied with clumps of copper (II) sulfate which tool would you need to convert the copper sulfate to usable form?
You would need to use a mortar and pestle to grind the clumps of copper (II) sulfate into a fine powder, making it easier to use in your experiment.
Is copper low or high resistance?
Copper is known for its low electrical resistance, making it a highly conductive material. This property of copper makes it ideal for use in electrical wiring and other applications where efficient electrical conductivity is required.
Why do we use copper for weapons?
Copper is used for weapons because it is a relatively hard metal that can be easily shaped into different forms. It also has good ductility, making it ideal for creating sharp edges. Additionally, copper is naturally antimicrobial, which can inhibit the growth of bacteria on weapon surfaces.

What is the use of sulfuric acid in printed circuit board manufacturing?
No acid is used.In the subtractive process for making PC boards, one of two etchant salt solutions will be used to remove copper from where traces are not desired:ferric chlorideammonium persulfateIn the additive process for making PC boards, copper will be added where traces are desired by electroplating from a copper sulfate salt solution.
Affects on household acids on copper?
it affects copper by sending the reaction into the copper and making it become a smaller object
Why copper is used for making electrical wire while silver is not?
Copper is used for making electrical wire more commonly than silver because copper is a better conductor of electricity and is more abundant and cost-effective. Silver is a better conductor than copper but is much more expensive, making it less practical for everyday applications like wiring.
