Copper has high biotoxicity and cannot be removed adequately by sewage plants, so while it is common for electronics hobbyists to flush it down the drain this should be avoided (although the amount in used by hobbyists is probably minor).

I have read that adding aluminum foil to the solution prior to disposal will precipitate the metallic copper creating nontoxic aluminum chloride. Filter out the copper flakes and pour the remaining liquid down the drain.

Why copper sulphate not used in flame test?

A.o.A it is the demand of flame test that salt should be easily vapourised as metalic chloride for this purpose we wet the given salt with acid (HCl) so that it change into chloride but copper cannot remove hydrogen(As Au,Ag,Pt) from acid so cannot changed into chloride and not used in flame test. but if there is chloride salt of copper it can be easily used for flame test with-out use of acid.....

What happens when you put copper in salt water?

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.


Does liquid solution have to be cloudy?

Yes, solutions have to be clear and cannot be cloudy, this means that they are always transparent and you can see through them. The word 'clear', however, should not be confused with the word 'colourless' as some solutions, like copper sulphate solution which is blue, maybe be coloured but they will still be clear or transparent.

What is the result when copper reacts with hydrochloric acid?

When copper reacts with hydrochloric acid it produces a metal salt. In this case the metal salt is copper chloride. It also produces hydrogen as a bi-product. You can test to see if it's hydrogen by taking a lit match and put it into the container you did to reaction in ( the container should be a boiling tube as some heat is produced during the reaction) You should hear a squeaky pop. That the hydrogen.
