The reaction between iron and copper sulfate leads to the formation of iron(II) sulfate and elemental copper. As a result, the iron pot develops holes due to the corrosion caused by the chemical reaction between the iron in the pot and the copper sulfate solution. This process is known as galvanic corrosion.

How do one eighth inch diameter holes come to appear in copper water supply pipes that are under two feet of earth and a 4 inch concrete slab?

The copper pipe is reacting with metallic elements in the ground which in turn creates oxidation in the copper, which causes corrosion, which leads to holes in the copper pipe.


Why holes appear on the can when ferrous sulphate solution is store in aluminium can?

Holes can form in an aluminum can when storing ferrous sulfate solution due to a chemical reaction between the ferrous sulfate and the aluminum. This reaction produces hydrogen gas, hydrogen sulfate, and iron hydroxide, which can weaken the aluminum can and cause holes to form over time.


Why are bubbles emitted when a chalk piece is immersed in water?

Chalk is a porous material - this means there are microscopic holes in the substance, which water seeps into - expelling air as visible bubbles.


When Zinc plate was kept in a glass container having CuSO4 examine it found that blue colour of solution is getting lighter After few days when zinc plate was taken out no of holes were noticed?

This because when we place zinc in copper sulphate solution then due to lower reduction potential and higher oxidation potential it consists the ability to loose electrons to copper as copper have more reduction potential (0.34) therefore it gains electrons from zinc. due to transfer of electrons the colour faints and after some days we will see that whole of the zinc gots oxidised and becomes zn2+.


Can you use cast iron clamps on copper pipe?

Not directly without some type of sleeving or protection between them. They are dissimilar metals and it will create electrolysis which will severely impair the copper pipe and create holes in the copper in the future.

What is the long term impact of water and oxygen on copper?

Corrosion or the coper item resulting in holes or structurally weakened copper. It turns very green; like the statue of liberty which is also made of copper. It should be cleaned with acid to remove corrosion.


What kind of sealers are useful for copper pipe?

The best sealers for copper pipe are a combination of plumbers tape and plumbers epoxy. The tape is used to temporarily seal any holes while the epoxy dries.


What is used to support vertical copper tubing against wood blocking?

The popular and proper mounting technique for copper tubing is a copper tubing clamp for the appropriate size. This clamp is made of copper and should be mounted with copper nails. It resembles a piece of tubing of the appropriate size, a half inch wide with two ears on either side with holes for nailing.


Who developed the AVOS design?

In the late 1990s, Worcester, Massachusetts-based Norton Co. developed the AVOS (Allows View of Surface) design, whereby it punched holes in the cutting blades to view through.


How has the flute developed?

It started out as a hollowed out bone with holes, then was refined into a hollowed out piece of bamboo, then was made with a metal mouthpiece, body, and covered metal keys


What is the value of a 1943 copper penny with small holes in it?

If you have a U.S. "copper" cent from 1943 it's almost certainly a fake. All known '43 coppers have been accounted for in private collections. If your coin is from Canada it does not have any special value because Canada did not switch to a different metal that year. In any case whoever put holes in it destroyed any collector value, so the coin is worth 1¢.
