No, copper is not a chemical compound. Its a chemical element.

A chemical element is a substance made up of atoms of only one type. IE: Copper. Or hydrogen. Or Helium. Or Lithium... (there are ninety two naturally occurring elements, and several more man made ones)

Is a copper sulfate solution a mixture?

No, a copper sulfate solution is a homogeneous mixture where copper sulfate is dissolved in water.


When copper chloride reacts with aluminum why does the color of the solution seem to fade?

When copper chloride reacts with aluminum, the aluminum replaces the copper in the compound through a single displacement reaction. The resulting compound formed, aluminum chloride, is colorless in solution. Therefore, the color of the solution appears to fade as the copper is displaced and the products of the reaction are colorless.


What will happen if a saturated solution of copper chloride is cooled?

If a saturated solution of copper chloride is cooled, the solubility of the compound will decrease, causing excess copper chloride to precipitate out of the solution in the form of solid crystals. This process is known as crystallization.


How do you separate copper from it's compounds?

One common method involves heating the copper compound with a reducing agent, such as carbon or hydrogen, to convert the copper compound into elemental copper. This process, called reduction, allows the copper to be separated from the other components of the compound. Another method involves leaching the copper compound with an acid to dissolve the copper, followed by a process to separate the copper from the acid solution.


Why can iron be used to extract copper?

Iron is a more reactive metal than copper, and so will replace it in a compound. The more reactive a metal is, the more stable it is in a compound, and the less stable it is in its elemental form. So relative to one another, iron is more stable in a compound while copper is more stable as apure element.

Why Hydrated copper sulfate crystals cannot be obtained from a solution by direct heating?

Heating the saturated solution of Copper sulfate will not form the hydrated copper sulfate crystals because only after cooling down the saturated solution of copper sulfate then only the crystals of the hydrated copper sulfate can be formed
