Best Answer

Cu + H2SO4 -> CuSO4 + H2

I would suppose that you are off gassing the hydrogen is this reaction and forming a protective patina of copper sulfate on the metal.

Assuming this reaction even could take place.

Neutralize soil and causes corrosion


What happens to the final concentration of H2SO4 if there is water present in the volumetric flask when transferring from the pipette?

If water is present it will dilute the sulphuric acid. So if the sulphuric acid has a concentration 1 M , then depending on the volume of water present the concentration will be less than 1M ( < 1M).


What is the pH number for sulpuhric acid?

We cannot tell the pH value of sulphuric acid without knowing the concentration of the sulphuric acid. As sulphuric acid is acid; so, its pH will be in the range of 1 to 6.9, depending upon its concentration.

What is conc sulfuric acid?

Concentrated sulphuric acid. It is H2SO4 in a concentration of probably 6M or above.


2.943g of pure sulphuric acid H2S4 is dissolved in water to make 150.0 cm3 of solution What is the concentration of the solution?

The concentration of a solution is moles/volume. 2.943g of pure sulphuric acid H2S4 is approximately 15 moles, and 15/150 cm3 is 10.


What happens to the concentration of sulphuric acid as the electricity is passed through it?

the h2 ions and the so4 ions in the sulphuric acid help electricity pass through it. this makes it a strong electrolyte.(electrolyte- a liquid which conducts electricity)
