How do you get copper from copper sulfate solution?

Copper can be obtained from copper sulfate solution by electroplating it onto an electrode or by adding a metal higher in the electromotive series than copper, such as iron, to the solution. The more active metal will dissolve by displacing copper in metallic form from the copper sulfate.


An iron nail is placed into some blue copper sulphate solution. A reaction takes place between the iron and the copper sulphate.?

Iron is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series. Hence metallic iron will displace copper cations from the solution. The solution will change colour from blue to brown. Metallic copper may be seen forming/observed on the sides of the reaction vessel/test tude.


What is formed by metals and contain more than one element and has metallic properties?

Alloy


Why is copper produced from Fe plus CuSO4 washed with alcohol?

Iron is more strongly metallic, or in more precise terms, has a lower electronegativity, than copper, therefore the sulphate radical has a stronger affinity for iron than for copper. Given the chance, therefore, iron will replace copper in CuSO4 forming FeSO4, and the copper will then precipitate from solution.


What is the difference between brass and copper?

Copper is an element, and a metal. Brass is an alloy of the metallic elements copper and zinc. A link is provided below.


What are the most metallic elements?

Answer: iron, aluminium, sodium, potassium, uranium, magnesium, copper, gold, calcium, silver etc.


When combining Aluminum and Copper Chloride what material is formed?

Two materials are formed: metallic copper and aluminum chloride. This is an example of displacement of a less active metal from its compounds by a more active metal in the electromotive series.


How do you get copper out of malachite?

In order to extract copper from malachite, the malachite must be heated to a high temperature. This produces a fine black powder (copper Oxide). The copper oxide is heated again to a more extreme temperature, this removes the oxygen, leaving metallic copper.


How are copper and bronze similar?

No. Copper is a pure metallic element. Bronze is an alloy (an alloy is a mixture of two or more elements) of Copper usually with Tin as the main additive, but sometimes with other elements such as phosphorus, manganese, aluminum, or silicon. Bronze is harder and less malleable than pure metallic copper.


What should for get more pound?

You should get more money per pound for copper than for aluminum.


What is more metallic mg or s?

Mg is more metallic.


Is copper made up of more than one element?

Yes, the metallic copper is an element, this means 'of one kind of atoms', it is Cu with atom number 29 in the periodic table. A 'copper' (money piece) is not made of pure copper, it is an alloy, the same like a 'nickel'.
