Copper sulphate solution test

A simple 5 percent copper sulphate solution, applied in the same way as the water drop test, should confirm the differences between non-stainless steels and stainless steels. A metallic copper coloured deposit should form easily on non-stainless steels, but the solution should remain free of copper colour if the sample is a stainless steel.

What happens when copper sulfate and steel wool is mix?

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.


What happens when copper sulfate is mix with steel wool?

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.


What happens when Steel wool is added to a copper sulphate solution?

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


How do you use steel wool to remove the cu 2 plus ions from an aqueous solution of copper ll sulfate?

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!


Do copper and steel react?

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.

Will paper clip react to Copper Sulfate?

When your paper clip is made of (or coated with) more reactive metals than copper, like Fe, Zn or Sn, it might react with Cu2+ ions in your solution. Cu2+ + Fe(s) --> Cu(s) + Fe2+
