When copper is placed in salt water, a chemical reaction causes the copper to turn a blue-green color: this is called copper chloride. If you leave copper in salt water long enough beside the change of color, you should also see a blue-green film or powder appear. This is normal.

What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?
Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.
What happens at the particle level when copper chloride is put into water?
When copper chloride is put into water, it starts dissociating. The molecule of copper chloride breaks up to give a cuprous ion(Cu2+) and 2 Chloride ions(Cl-). The water molecules weakly dissociate to give hydrogen ions(H+) and Hydroxyl ions(OH-). The oppositely charged ions interact and form a weak bond known as hydrogen bond. This interaction results in the copper chloride dissolving in the water.
What happens when NaCl-salt is put in carbonated water?
Basic infoBasically, it reacts and a big amount of gas (CO2?) is released. It has a similar effect to when you put Mentos in a bottle of coke.
What happens when you put sodium nitrate in 30c?
it dissolves into water because the sodium nitrate is a type of salt that is better dissolving in water so when it hits 30 degrees it will already be dissolving.
How can you separate copper objects with wood?
put water in the mixture, the wood will float and the copper will sink. :D
What happens when these are put together water and coils of copper and salt all in a bottle.then i hooked it up to electricity. it made green salt what is that?
Electrolysis
What happens when you put coins in salt water?
Some coins contain metals toxic to salt water invertebrates, for example copper pennies. Putting the coin in the water can kill those animals.
What happens to water movement when you put salt in soil?
Water dissolve and transport salt.
What happens when you put salt into a cup of water?

What happens when an egg is put into salt water?
It floats.
What happens when you put a fresh water fish in salt water?
They die
What happens to salt when it is put into cold water and stirred?
The cold water becomes salt water. The salt doesn't dissolve like sugar.
What happens when you put copper sulphate in water?
The copper sulfate dissolves and turns into a royal-blue color.
What happens if you put salt water on your feet?

What happens to a fresh water fish when put in a salt water tank?
they will die
What happens to water volume when put salt into the water?
The volume remain unchanged.
What happens if you put lots and lots of salt into water?
The concentration of salt increase up to saturation.
