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.
What else can I help you with?
How might a scientist distinguish the following compounds strontium chloride and potassium chloride?
If you heat something containing strontium until it glows it should tend to glow red. If you heat something containing potassium until it glows it should tend to glow yellow.
Solutions to circus abuse?
A law should be passed saying that the animals in circuses, while being trained, should not in any way be harmed.
Does strontium chloride have a ionic or covalent bond?
It is ionic as are all strontium compounds.
Should a kid be able to play with silica jell?
No, while colorless silica gel is non-toxic, the dopants used as color moisture indicator in silica gel (such as cobalt (II) chloride) are carcinogens and are quite toxic.
How is gold used in electronics?
Gold is used as a conductor of electricity on flash drives, USB cables, etc. It plates the metal surface to let the most electricity flow. The question should be why not how. Gold is impervious to oxidation and a very good conductor. So connections are more reliable if made with gold contacts as opposed to copper which oxidizes easily.
What can be used to split copper chloride into copper and chlorine?
Electrolysis can be used to split copper chloride into copper and chlorine. By passing an electric current through a solution of copper chloride, the chloride ions (Cl-) will be attracted to the positive electrode (anode) where they undergo oxidation to form chlorine gas, while the copper ions (Cu2+) will be attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) where they are reduced to form solid copper.
Is dilution an acceptable way to dispose of the used copper chloride solution Explain?
No, dilution is not an acceptable way to dispose of copper chloride solution. Copper chloride is a toxic chemical that can harm the environment if disposed of incorrectly. It should be taken to a hazardous waste disposal facility for proper treatment and disposal.
What happens to the oxygen in a copper chloride aluminum reaction?
In a copper chloride and aluminum reaction, the aluminum oxidizes to form aluminum oxide and copper is produced. The oxygen in the copper chloride is involved in oxidizing the aluminum during the reaction, forming aluminum oxide.
Is dilution an acceptable way to dispose of the used copper chloride solution?
Is dilution an acceptable way to dispose of the used copper chloride solution
What color formed when copper mixed with chlorine in water?
When copper reacts with chlorine in water, a greenish-blue color is formed, which is due to the formation of copper(II) chloride.
If you add barium chloride to two solutions that contained different amounts of sulfate ions what should i expect?

What is the difference between copper and chloride and copper chloride?
Carbon Steel is much stronger metal.
What happens when you put copper in salt water?
Well, darling, when you toss copper into salt water, you're starting a little chemistry show. The salt water acts like a stage manager, pulling electrons from the copper and causing it to corrode and turn green. It's like Mother Nature's version of aging gracefully, but with a bit more drama.
Does copper chloride produce hydrogen?
Copper Chloride (CuCl2) would have to react with another compound in order for it to produce hydrogen.Added:Cu2+ will never produce hydrogen because it can not REDUCE at all, only oxidize another substance.To 'make' hydrogen it is necessary to extract electrons from a reductant (= electron donor). Copper metal (Cu) would be able to do to H+ ions (from strong acids).
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.....
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 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.
