Copper does not react with water because the oxygen in water is locked into a compound with two parts hydrogen, one part oxygen. Oxygen by it's self, reacts with copper to patina the copper. The patina shields the copper from corrosion, unlike iron, which oxygen oxides iron and causes rust, which is a type of corrosion.

∙ 14y agobecause above 400 degree celsius copper copper reacts with sulphur and turns into cupric sulphate which forms a thin layer in the vessel ..... so copper cannot be used in preparing hydrogen ...

∙ 13y agoWith water this is not possible (in the way potassium and sodium can), because H2O is not a strong oxydiser, Cu2+ is stronger.
Copper gives only hydrogen when reacting with nitric acid because that acid (H+) is strong enough (Cu2+ is weaker than that):
Cu + 2 HNO3 --> Cu2+ + 2 NO3- + H2

What does not have the affinity for water?
There are some metals which do not react with water. Metals like Silver,Gold,Platinum,copper,Mercury and non metals like Hydrogen do not react with water.
The reaction between copper carbonate with water?
No, it dosent. If a base can be dissolved in water, its corresponding metal oxide must be able to be dissolved in water. So you see copper hydroxide is solid, which means it can't be dissolved in water. So copper oxide can't react or be dissolved in water to form copper hydroxide.
What are three metals that react with air and water in the atmosphere?
Aluminum, copper, and iron.
Does copper react quickly with alkalis?
Copper doesn't react wih alkalis.
How does copper nitrate react with copper oxide?
It doesn't.
How does copper react in water?
It doesnt
What does not have the affinity for water?

A metal used for piping because it doesnt react with water is?
Examples: lead, stainless steel, sometimes copper.
Iron sulphate will not react with copper why?
because copper is below iron in electrochemical series that's why it doesnt react with iron sulphate.
How reactive is copper?
Copper does not react in water.
Does copper react with deep water?
you tell me
Does copper nitrate react with water?
Copper nitrate dissolves in water, hence it is a chemical reaction.
How do you conclude of these reactions between copper sulfate and water?
Copper sulfate is soluble in water but doesn't react with water.
What happen when copper react with dilute HCL?
It forms copper chloride and water.
What is the symbol equation for copper carbonate plus sulphuric acid to copper sulphate plus water plus carbon dioxide?
Copper carbonate + sulphuric acid = copper sulphate + water + carbon dioxide
Does copper react with water to produce hydrogen?
yes it does.
What will happen when you react copper oxide with and acid?
A salt of copper and water would be formed as products.
