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

What is the formula for Copper Sulphate for testing for presence of Stainless Steel?

The formula for Copper Sulphate is CuSO4. To test for the presence of stainless steel, you can immerse the suspected stainless steel object in a solution of Copper Sulphate. If the object is not stainless steel and contains iron, a red-brown coating of copper will form on the object due to a displacement reaction between iron and copper ions in the solution.


How does Copper Sulfate react to carbon steel?

Copper sulfate can react with carbon steel to cause corrosion, as it is a corrosive agent. This reaction can lead to the formation of copper deposits on the steel surface, which can accelerate rusting and degradation of the steel. It is important to avoid exposing carbon steel to copper sulfate solutions to prevent this reaction.


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.


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!


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.

Which colour of copper sulphate solution change when iron dipped in it?

It may seem like the iron rusts, but it doesn't. The chemical formula for copper sulfate is CuSO4, or, 1 copper atom, 1 sulfur atom, and 4 oxygen atoms to each molecule. When the iron is placed in the solution of copper sulfate, it replaces the copper in the solution, turning copper sulfate into iron sulfate (FeSO4) and pure copper collects on the iron. This can be proved by removing the copper and seeing that the iron has lost a lot of its mass, as in, it lost mass to the copper sulfate. The iron (steel wool) takes on a pinkish color which is metallic copper deposited when the solution forms iron sulfate.

How do you prepare ferrous sulphate?

H2SO4 (30%-40%) added slowly to steel wool. The pH of the solution should be acidic at any given time, otherwise the ferrous ions will oxidize to the ferric state. The sulfuric acid will begin to dissolve the steel, producing hydrogen gaz.
