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.

Why does Fe reacts with dil. H2SO4 to give hydrogen gas but copper does not?

Becayse Iron (Fe) is higher than hydrogen (H) in the chemical reactivity series so it displaces it forming hydrogen gas and Iron sulphate. But Copper (Cu) is lower than hydrogen in the chemical reactivity series so it cannot dispalce hydrogen thus not liberating hydrogen gas


Why does copper not liberate hydrogen on reacting with dilute sulphuric acid?

it is because hydrogen gas usually liberates when an acid reacts with metal


Why does copper not evolve hydrogen on reacting with dilute sulphuric acid?

Copper does not evolve hydrogen gas when reacting with dilute sulfuric acid because copper is below hydrogen in the reactivity series. This means that copper is not reactive enough to displace hydrogen from sulfuric acid to form hydrogen gas. Instead, copper reacts with sulfuric acid to form copper(II) sulfate and water.


Why does copper does not displace hydrogen from dilute acid violently?

Copper is less reactive than hydrogen, so it does not displace hydrogen from dilute acid violently. The reactivity series shows that copper is lower in the series than hydrogen, meaning it is less likely to displace hydrogen in a chemical reaction.


Why does zinc reacts with DI sulfuric acid to give hydrogen gas but not copper?

If you look at reactivity series, you will find zinc to be more reactive than hydrogen while copper being less reactive than it. Therefore zinc is able to displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid while copper is not. The reaction with zinc is:- Zn + H2SO4 -------> ZnSO4 +H2 The reaction with copper is Cu + H2SO4 ---------> No reaction

What happends when magnesium reacts with acid?

Magnesium, like all metals above copper on a standard reactivity series chart, will liberate hydrogen gas.


Does copper react with dilute sulfuric acid?

No, as copper is below Hydrogen in the reactivity series


What metals does hydrogen places between in the reactivity series?

Between Lead and Copper

Why does copper and hydrochloric acid not react?

Copper does not react with hydrochloric acid because it is not reactive enough to displace hydrogen from the acid. Copper is below hydrogen in the reactivity series, so it cannot displace hydrogen ions to form copper chloride and hydrogen gas.


Is Hydrogen produced when Magnesium reacts with copper sulfate solution?

The activity series of metals goes something like this: Lithium Potassium Barium Calcium Sodium Magnesium Aluminum Zinc Iron Nickel Tin Lead Hydrogen Copper Mercury .............and so on..... ps, I might have left some elements out....can't remember them all... Since magnesium is higher in the reactivity series of metals, it can replace copper in a reaction. Copper is lower in the activity series of metals therefore can not replace magnesium.


What would happen if you reacted copper with dilute hydrochloric acid?

Probably nothing: Hydrogen is higher than copper in the electromotive series, so that copper can not displace hydrogen from its compounds,


Why does zinc react with sulphuric acid to give hydrogen gas but copper does not?

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.
