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 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!


What mineral do you scratch with a penny or steel wool for hardness?

Copper and steel have hardness of around 3 and 6 respectively on the Mohs scale. You can use them to test any mineral, and roughly estimate its hardness. If it's scratched by copper, it's less than 3, if it's scratched by steel but not by copper, it's between 3 and 6, if neither copper nor steel scratches it, then it's above 6.


What is the chemical formula for copper wool?

Wool is a protein fibre. Proteins are chains of amino acids. In fibres their beta structure keeps the chains from coiling up.

What two colour changes do you get when you add copper sulphate solution to iron wool?

When you add copper sulphate solution to iron wool. The iron wool turns copper in color and the copper sulphate solution turns pale blue as the iron displaces the copper from the copper sulphate solution forming iron sulfate.


What happens when steel-wool burns?

it catches fire


What happens when you put steel wool in water?

Steel wool will quickly start to rust when placed in water due to its iron content. The water exposes the iron to oxygen in the air, leading to oxidation which causes the steel wool to rust and eventually deteriorate.


What happens when heated steal wool is lower into sulfur vapour?

The steel wool will burned and turned in black substance.


What happens to steel wool if you soak it in oil?

If you soak steel wool in oil, it can become a fire hazard since the oil can make the steel wool heat up more quickly and reach its ignition temperature. It is not recommended to soak steel wool in oil due to this risk.


Is steel wool a conductor?

steel wool is steel made from wool, so it would be neither


Can you use steel wool to cover up holes in stove frame to prevent mice from coming inside oven?

Steel wool will burn. Try a section cut rom a copper Chore-Boy pot scrubber.


What happens to the steel wool when the power supply is switched on?

When the power supply is switched on, the steel wool heats up due to the electrical current passing through it. This causes the steel wool to start glowing red-hot and eventually ignite due to the combustion of the iron in the presence of oxygen.
