How is brass like salt water?

Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is like salt water in that both are mixtures. Salt water is a mixture of water and salt molecules, while brass is a mixture of copper and zinc atoms. Both brass and salt water exhibit unique properties due to their mixture compositions.


What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?

The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!


What would happen if you zinc into hydrohloric acid?

you would get Zinc Chloride, a salt. This is because when you add a metal to an acid, you get a salt (plus some water, which just dilutes the acid)


Could copper also cause zinc ions to precipitate?

No. Ions do not precipitate on their own. Since zinc is more reactive that copper it will replace copper. So placing zinc in a solution of a copper salt will cause elemental copper to precipitate.


Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?

because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc


What will happen when copper is put in zinc nitrate solution?

Nothing. Zinc is more reactive than copper, and zinc has already undergone oxidation to become an ion (remember, zinc nitrate is soluble.) So the copper will just sit there because it's not reactive enough to do anything.


What are the reactions of copper and zinc metal using concentrated nitric acid concentrated sulfuric acid potassium chloride solution and zinc powder metal?

copper+nitric acid > copper nitrate+hydrogen copper+sulpuric acid> copper sulphate+ hydrogen copper+potassium chloride> copper chloride+ hydrogen copper+ zinc carbonate (powder metal) > copper+ zinc + water + carbon dioxide zinc+nitric acid > zinc nitrate+ hydrogen etc just replace the copper in the above equations with 'zinc' for all the zinc solutions x


When water is added to white copper and copper sulphate why is it a chemical change?

When water is added to white copper (zinc) and copper sulfate, a chemical change occurs because new substances are formed. The zinc displaces the copper in the copper sulfate solution, leading to the formation of zinc sulfate and copper metal, which are chemically different from the original substances. This reaction is a classic example of a single displacement reaction.


What coin will rust faster in salt water?

A penny will rust faster because it made entirely of zinc with a thin outer coating of copper, and zinc is made to rust unlike nickel which is used to make nickels, dimes, etc...


What is more reactive zinc or copper sulphate?

Zinc is more reactive than copper sulfate. When zinc is placed in a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the solution, forming zinc sulfate and copper metal.


Does copper chloride and zinc nitrate for a precipitate?

no it does not because it forms a production of gas


Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
