there would be a single replacement reaction where the copper forms on the top of the zinc and the blue color of the copper sulfate would get lighter and eventually you would end up with zinc sulfate and copper

Would you expect sodium sulphate or copper sulphate to be colourless?

Copper is a transition metal- these often give rise to colored salts. Sodium is an s block metal these are generally colorless. The reason is that transition metals ions have electrons in an outer d orbitals that can be excited to higher energy levels by visible light.


What would you see if you dropped a piece of magnesium ribbon into some copper sulphate solution in a test tube?

If you drop a piece of magnesium ribbon into copper sulphate solution, you would observe a redox reaction where the magnesium displaces the copper in the solution. This results in the formation of copper metal and magnesium sulphate, with a color change from blue to colorless as the reaction progresses. Additionally, there may be bubbling and fizzing observed as the reaction occurs.


What color is pasta when copper sulphate and sodium chloride is mixed with it?

The copper sulphate will likely give the pasta a blue or green hue, while the sodium chloride (salt) will not significantly alter its color. The overall color may appear bluish-green due to the copper sulphate.


Does hydrated copper sulphate increase the mass?

When hydrated copper sulfate is heated, it loses water molecules and forms anhydrous copper sulfate, which has a lower mass due to the removal of water. So, the mass would decrease upon heating hydrated copper sulfate.


What happens when you mix copper sulphate solution and zinc?

Adding zinc to copper sulfate will result in a displacement reaction that will create copper metal to precipitate as a solid. CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) ---> ZnSO4 + Cu(s) This reaction is quite exothermic too, meaning it will give off alot of heat - enough to make it too hot to hold the reaction beaker in bare hands.

Does copper sulfate have a concentration?

A copper sulphate solution can have different concentrations depending on how much copper sulphate crystals have been added into the water. A typical 1 molar solution of copper sulphate would need 250g of CuSO4, mixed with 700ml of H2O, with 10ml of H2SO4 added with another 290ml of water.

Iron plus copper sulphate equals iron sulphate plus copper - what change would you see on the surface of the nail?

The copper will appear on the surface of the nail, so it will be different in colour-it'll be like copper.

Is copper sulphate dissolves in water a physical or chemical change?

A physical change is different from a chemical change in two ways:1) In a physical change no new substances are made; in a chemical change new substances are made.2) A physical change can be easily reversed; a chemical change cannot be easily reversed.Dissolving copper sulphate in water does not produce a new substance. The copper sulphate solution is a mixture, not a pure substance.Also, by evaporating the water you can easily get the copper sulphate back again.So, dissolving copper sulphate is a physical change.Sometimes, though, when water is added to copper sulphate, it reacts with the water to form copper sulphate pentahydrate, which is a new compound. This would be a chemical change, but actually dissolving it is indeed a physical change only.See these sites for more information:http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/ks3bitesize/science/chemistry/chem_react_2.shtmlhttp://www.chem4kids.com/files/matter_chemphys.html
