If you are asking if there will be a chemical rection between the copper and steel, such as an explosion, no. Metals have a property called nobility, which measure a metals resistance to corrosion when in contact with another metal. The further apart they are on the nobility scale, the worse the corrosion. Copper and stainless steel are not very far apart. Copper and aluminum are a poor mix. The Galvanic Scale should be checked to see if certain metals in contact will accelerate corrosion.
When iron nails are used in a copper roof, the iron will react with the copper in the presence of moisture, leading to a chemical reaction known as galvanic corrosion. This can cause the nails to deteriorate faster and weaken the structural integrity of the roof over time. It is recommended to use copper nails or stainless steel nails in a copper roof to prevent this issue.
If it's plating and not an alloy, it should depend on the thickness of the plating, since steel is attracted by magnets and copper is not.
iron will rust faster because the hydrogen molecules combine with metalic molecules in the iron faster which causes the chemical reaction process to speed up sincerly, Jake from AZ 7th grade student
A 1943 penny could be a "steel penny" as they were made of steel due to copper being needed for other wartime purposes. Nickels were made of 35% silver during WWII. If a 1943 penny and nickel were mixed, it would potentially be an error as they wouldn't have been in circulation together due to their different compositions.
Whenever two metals are in close contact, corrosion can occur because of electrolytic erosion - the two different metals can form a battery in presense of an electrolyte (for example, salt water). This is a serious problem for designers of central heating systems where steel radiators are connected to copper piping; earthing tags have to be used to earth all the metal in the system to prevent the erosion.
When copper sulfate is mixed with steel wool, a redox reaction occurs where the copper ions in the copper sulfate solution gain electrons from the steel wool, causing the copper to plate onto the surface of the steel wool. This results in the formation of copper metal and iron sulfate.
IF THE COPPER SULFATE DISSOLVES IN WATER, HAS A BLUE COLOR. WHEN STEEL WOOL IS MIXED WITH COPPER SULFATE,, THE STEEL WOOL DISSAPEARS, A BROWNISH SOLID FORMS, AND THE COLOR OF THE SOLUTION CHANGES FROM BLUE TO GREEN.Copper is produced.
Copper is deposed on the steel wool.
I think basically what happens is a single replacement (or maybe double?) but copper will be drawn from the copper sulfate and form on the outside of the steel wool. If it's a double replacement then something in the steel wool will replace the copper and you'll have a new sulfate solution. I remember doing this lab in chemistry a number of years back, so sorry that I can't remember all the details. T_T
I believe the Chinese invented brass in ancient china when they mixed copper and steel
Copper sulfate can react with carbon steel to cause corrosion, as it is a corrosive agent. This reaction can lead to the formation of copper deposits on the steel surface, which can accelerate rusting and degradation of the steel. It is important to avoid exposing carbon steel to copper sulfate solutions to prevent this reaction.
Oh, dude, it's like this - you take the steel wool and just plop it into the copper sulfate solution. The steel wool reacts with the copper ions, forming a solid copper metal on the wool and leaving the solution without the Cu2+ ions. It's like magic, but with science!
Copper and steel do not have a significant chemical reaction when combined. However, they can undergo galvanic corrosion when in contact with each other in the presence of an electrolyte, leading to degradation of the metals over time.
Very fast corrosion e.g Fe + 2HCl -----> FeCl2 + H2
The formula for Copper Sulphate is CuSO4. To test for the presence of stainless steel, you can immerse the suspected stainless steel object in a solution of Copper Sulphate. If the object is not stainless steel and contains iron, a red-brown coating of copper will form on the object due to a displacement reaction between iron and copper ions in the solution.

Yes, metals are often mixed to create alloys with improved properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, and hardness. Common examples of metal alloys include steel (iron and carbon), bronze (copper and tin), and brass (copper and zinc).
