Copper is unreactive and will not react with acids to liberate hydrogen gas. However it may react if concentrated and oxidising acids are used.

Where is copper formed?

Copper is a chemical element, and is occasionally found as the native metal. Most commonly it is found combined with sulfur, or other natural acid groups. These are generally derived from fluid flow from volcanic sources, and much of our copper is of this origin. As a relatively heavy metal, it will migrate towards the core of the earth, but the hot liquid solutions associated with vulcanism may bring it to the surface.
