This synthesis reaction produces Copper(II) nitrate(bluish-green), Water and Nitrogen Dioxide(reddish-yellow). Nitrogen dioxide is produced only if the acid is concentrated.
Copper + (Conc.)Nitric acid ----> Copper(II) nitrate + Water + Nitrogen dioxide
Cu + 2HNO3 ----> Cu(NO3)2 + H2O + NO2
NOTE: If the gas coming out is colourless, it is not Nitrogen dioxide, i.e. it is Nitrogen monoxide. This also means that your acid is not concentrated. Nitrogen monoxide is only produced when the acid is dilute. This is the equation:
Copper + (Dil.)Nitric acid ----> Copper(II) nitrate + Water + Nitrogen monoxide
Cu + HNO3 ----> Cu(NO3)2 + H2O + NO

∙ 14y agoyep. you can boil the sulfuric acid and it will dissolve copper. It releases sulfur dioxide gas however, so do the experiment in a fumehood or outside, and please do not have any hydrogen peroxide near by, as sulfur dioxide gas, SO2 will combine with hydrogen peroxide to form more sulfuric acid(h2S04)

Wiki User
∙ 15y agoThere is lots of fizzing and bubbling and a brown gas (nitric oxide- very toxic) is given off. Eventually the copper dissolves and a greenish solution of copper nitrate is left.

∙ 11y agoCopper dissolves in any oxidising acid like nitric acid. In HCl, chloride ion is reducing and not oxidising.

∙ 13y agoNo, nitric acid reacts with copper and produces toxic gasses.

Will CLR clean copper?
I have an old brass or copper #50 sieve that has many of the square holes, .011", CLR was recommended by some, others say "don't do it". The sieve is used by geologists to "sort" material by size. Often, small rock pieces get stuck. Ant help is appreciated.
Copper is found in what type of rock?
Copper can be found in Granitic and Basaltic rocks.
Is copper a mineral or a rock?
Copper is an element which can be found in rocks, or it can be found in a relative pure state in nature called native copper, which is a mineral.
Which rock decays faster from acid rain?
Rocks containing carbonate, like limestone, dissolve fastest in acidic rain
What rock is not affected by acid rain?
granite and gabbro
What acid rain can wear away layers of rock?
Ordinary rain will contain small quantities of nitric acid, made during thunderstorms. Production of carbonic acid due to CO2 production, is another atmospheric acid that dissolves susceptible rocks.
Is copper a sedimentary rock?
No copper is not a metamorphic rock no-re is it a sedimentary rock or igneous it is actually a element!
How do you clean a rock?
You clean a rock by
What acid is used in fertilizers and photographic film?
Nitric acidANsw2. Well, Superphosphate fertilizer is made by reacting rock phosphate with sulphuric acid.But both nitrates and ammonia are used by plants as fertilizers as a source of nitrogen.
What type of rock is copper ore?
a copper ore is ither a metamorphic, sedimentary or igneious rock
Dissolving a rock in acid is the equivalent of?
Dissolving a rock in acid is the equivalent of
How carbonic acid wheather rock?
How carbonic acid wheather rock
Does schist rock bubble when with hydrochloric acid?
No, schist rock does not bubble when it is placed in hydrochloric acid. Schist rock does not react with any acid.
What is hazardous about nitric acid?
Depends on the exposure and what is meant by hazardous. The pH can cause very sever burns to those exposed. In the environment, it can cause the same issue and it can leach metals out of soil/rock inexceeding regulatory levels.
What is yellow copper rock?
Chalcopyrite is a yellow copper ore.
What acids will dissolve a rock?
Halite will dissolve on pure water. Other rock types are not so soluble but may be chemically weathered by acid water (carbonic acid made from dissolved CO2 from the air) these would include limestone based rocks.
