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.

∙ 15y agoThe hydrogen ions (H+) oxidise the copper metal to copper ions, and the hydrogen is reduced to hydrogen gas according to the equation: 2H+ + Cu --> H2 + Cu2+

∙ 13y agoNo, copper is not reactive enough to do so. Only metals which are higher than hydrogen in the reactivity series will react with sulphuric acid.

What happens when dilute sulphuric acid is poured on copper plate?
Sulfuric acid react with copper.
When copper metal reacts with sulfuric acid?
Copper metal does not have enough reactivity to react with sulfuric acid.
Which metal will not react readily with hydrochloric acid?
Gold , Silver and copper. Copper can be made to react witg 16M nitric acid. Gold can be made to reract with 'Aqua-regia' a mixture of nitric acid and hydrochloric acid .
Does copper carbonate react when dissolved in hydrochloric acid?
Yes it do But don't forget that it don't react with the Copper only
What occurs when copper reacts with dilute sulphuric acid?
no reaction will take place because copper does not react with dilute sulphuric acid, it will only react with hot and concentrated sulphuric acid.
What happens when copper is reacted with dilute sulfuric acid?
Copper does not react with dilute Sulphuric acid.
