How do you get copper from copper sulfate solution?
Copper can be obtained from copper sulfate solution by electroplating it onto an electrode or by adding a metal higher in the electromotive series than copper, such as iron, to the solution. The more active metal will dissolve by displacing copper in metallic form from the copper sulfate.
A metal which cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution?
Copper is a metal that cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution. This is because copper has a lower reactivity than zinc and cannot displace it in a chemical reaction.
What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?
Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.
Where is the excess copper from after adding zinc to copper sulfate?
The "excess" metallic copper produced by adding zinc metal to a copper sulfate solution comes from exchanging zinc atoms from the metal for copper atoms from the copper sulfate solution. During the reaction, the zinc atoms are ionized to cations and the copper cations from the solution are reduced to neutral atoms.
Was a strip of magnesium metal into a solution of copper sulfate a chemical change?
Yes. The magnesium metal replaces the copper in the copper sulfate. This is a single replacement or single displacement reaction.
What happens if you put copper into silver sulfate?
Silver has a higher reduction potential than copper (ie silver "wants" to be in reduced form - metalic form - "more" than copper does). If silver METAL (Ag0) is added to a solution of CuSO4, nothing happens since silver is already reduced and it wants to stay that way.
Is copper sulfate a metal?
Copper sulfate is not a metal There are two compounds called Copper Sulfate, which are salts of the metal Copper. CuSO4 is Copper (II) Sulfate, once known as Cupric Sulfate. Cu2SO4 is Copper (I) Sulfate, once known as Cuprous Sulfate.
Why can iron be used to get copper sulfate solution?
Because iron is a more reactive metal than copper.
When an iron nail is placed into a solution of copper sulfate what happens?
The iron which is a more electrochemically active metal gets plated with copper and iron sulfate is formed
Reacting copper II sulfate with iron yields?
If an aqueous solution of copper(II) sulfate is contacted with metallic iron, at the least the surface of the iron passes into solution and is replaced by a layer of metallic copper. This is an example of displacement by a metal higher in the electromotive series than the metal it displaces.
NAME OF A metal that replaces silver from silver nitrate solution?
copper will replace silver in silver nitratesolution will precipitate silver and oxidize copper turning to copper nitrate
What is the colour of copper metal after being placed in silver nitrate solution?
Silver shine
