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.
What else can I help you with?
What occurs when copper reacts with dilute sulphuric acid?
When copper reacts with dilute sulphuric acid, copper sulfate and hydrogen gas are produced. The copper sulfate formed will be a blue solution. This reaction is a redox reaction, where copper is oxidized and hydrogen is reduced.
Why Isn't hydrogen gas formed from a mixture of copper carbonate and sulphuric acid?
Hydrogen gas is not formed in this reaction because copper carbonate and sulphuric acid react to form water, carbon dioxide, and copper sulfate. The hydrogen atoms in the sulfuric acid are not released as hydrogen gas in this reaction.
What is the reaction between copper and sulfuric acid?
No, there is no reaction between copper & H2SO4 because according to reactivity series of metal hydrogen is more reactive than copper. Hence copper does not displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid..
What salt is formed when copper reacts with sulphuric acid?
When copper reacts with sulphuric acid, copper sulfate is formed. This reaction involves the displacement of hydrogen in sulphuric acid by copper, resulting in the formation of copper sulfate and hydrogen gas.
What happens when dilute sulphuric acid-is poured on copper plate?
Sulfuric acid react with copper.
What happens when copper is reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
Copper does not react with dilute Sulphuric acid.
How does copper reacts with acid when copper is below hydrogen in reactivity series?
Cu does not reacts with dilute sulphuric acid but concentrated sulphuric acid reacts with copper inpresence of oxygen and heat here last two factors are responsible for the reaction of copper.
Which salt is made when copper oxide and sulphuric acid react together?
Copper sulfate is the salt formed when copper oxide and sulfuric acid react together.
Will sulfuric acid corrode copper?
Sorry, copper does not react with sulphuric acid because it is not reactive enough to do so. Only metals which are higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with sulphuric acid.
Which pair of substances will react together to make copper sulfate?
Copper oxide and sulfuric acid will react together to produce copper sulfate.
Does copper react with acid?
It does for example with dilute nitric acid. It depends on how strong oxidant is the acid. Metallic copper must be oxidized to react with acid which can be performed by the acid itself (nitric acid, sulfuric acid) or atmospheric oxygen. Thus copper will not react with non-oxidizing acid (like hydrochloric acid) but you can notice that if you let copper with hydrochloric acid on open air, it will oxidize after time, forming green products.
Is hydrogen gas formed from a mixture of copper carbonate and sulphuric acid?
NO!
