because it just doesn't


What is the formula for water and copper reacting together to turn the water blue?

When copper is added to plain water consisting of H2O an ion named hexaaquacopper is formed. This mixes in water to give water its blue color. The formula for this material is [Cu(H2O)6]2+ .


What happens at the particle level when copper chloride is put into water?

When copper chloride is put into water, it starts dissociating. The molecule of copper chloride breaks up to give a cuprous ion(Cu2+) and 2 Chloride ions(Cl-). The water molecules weakly dissociate to give hydrogen ions(H+) and Hydroxyl ions(OH-). The oppositely charged ions interact and form a weak bond known as hydrogen bond. This interaction results in the copper chloride dissolving in the water.


Why does zinc react with sulphuric acid to give hydrogen gas but copper does not?

Zinc is above hydrogen in the reactivity series while copper is below. Since zinc has a higher tendency to lose electrons than hydrogen it then displaces hydrogen ions from solution.


Why does Fe reacts with dil. H2SO4 to give hydrogen gas but copper does not?

Becayse Iron (Fe) is higher than hydrogen (H) in the chemical reactivity series so it displaces it forming hydrogen gas and Iron sulphate. But Copper (Cu) is lower than hydrogen in the chemical reactivity series so it cannot dispalce hydrogen thus not liberating hydrogen gas


What atom is present in many acid?

This is a very undefined question as there are an almost infinite number of reactants and resulting products. All acids begin with an H+ ion. If the acid is reacting with water, a hydronium ion can form. If the acid is reacting with a base, water and a salt are formed.


What reactants would give zinc nitrate water?

Reacting zinc metal (Zn) with nitric acid (HNO3) would produce zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2) and hydrogen gas (H2). Water can be added to dissolve the zinc nitrate salt after it is produced.


The difference between ketones and carboxylic acids when reacting with sodium hydrogen carbonate?

The Difference between ketones and carboxylic acids when reacting with sodium hydrogen carbonate is that carboxlic acids give off caron dioxide when a sloution is added to little sodium hydrogen carbonate (or carbonate) solid or solution whereas ketone has no apparent reaction with the carbonate.


Copper pipe used in solar water heater is wrapped in the shape of coil give reason-?

The copper pipe in the solar water is wrapped in the shape of a coil to give it maximum surface area.


How can you make water from hydrogen hydrogen from water?

Yes. You cannot get water from hydrogen alone. You need oxygen. Since oxygen is a part of the atmosphere, simply burning hydrogen in air will give you water vapor. Passing an electric current through water will split it back into hydrogen and oxygen.


Why does zinc reacts with DI sulfuric acid to give hydrogen gas but not copper?

If you look at reactivity series, you will find zinc to be more reactive than hydrogen while copper being less reactive than it. Therefore zinc is able to displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid while copper is not. The reaction with zinc is:- Zn + H2SO4 -------> ZnSO4 +H2 The reaction with copper is Cu + H2SO4 ---------> No reaction


Use hydrogen bond in a sentence?

In water, the hydrogen bonds between the hydrogen of one water molecule and the oxygen of another molecule give water its unique properties such as high surface tension and cohesion.
