The zinc is either contaminated with copper, or the copper is depositing so quickly onto the zinc that it is in a non crystalline structure and therefore appears to be black. Try melting some of the black stuff with a blowtorch and see what happens.
The acid that reacts with copper(II) carbonate to give a blue solution is hydrochloric acid (HCl). This reaction forms a solution of copper(II) chloride, which appears blue due to the presence of copper ions.
The substance in the air that causes copper to turn black when in contact with fire is copper oxide. When copper reacts with oxygen in the air at high temperatures, it forms a layer of copper oxide on its surface, giving it a black appearance.
When iron (Fe) reacts with copper(II) sulfate (CuSO₄), a single displacement reaction occurs. In this reaction, iron displaces copper, resulting in the formation of iron(II) sulfate (FeSO₄) and elemental copper (Cu). The overall reaction can be represented as: [ \text{Fe} + \text{CuSO}_4 \rightarrow \text{FeSO}_4 + \text{Cu} ] Thus, the products formed are iron(II) sulfate and copper.
After half an hour, you would observe that the magnesium has started to dissolve into the copper sulfate solution, forming a blue solution due to the formation of copper ions in solution. Bubbles of hydrogen gas should also be observed as a byproduct of the reaction.
To balance the equation involving copper sulfate (CuSO4) and zinc sulfate (ZnSO4), we need to ensure that the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides. The balanced equation is: ( \text{CuSO}_4 + \text{Zn} \rightarrow \text{ZnSO}_4 + \text{Cu} ). In this reaction, one mole of copper sulfate reacts with one mole of zinc to produce one mole of zinc sulfate and one mole of copper.
Sulfuric acid reacts with copper to produce copper sulfate. Copper sulfate is formed when copper reacts with sulfuric acid in the presence of oxygen.
The copper sulfate reacts with the water, creating a new substance with a different color.
Anhydrous copper sulfate is CuSO4, while water is H2O. When anhydrous copper sulfate reacts with water, it forms hydrated copper sulfate, which is CuSO4·5H2O.
Aluminum reacts slowly with copper sulfate because aluminum is more reactive than copper. When aluminum reacts with copper sulfate, it forms aluminum sulfate and copper. This reaction can be slow because a layer of aluminum oxide may form on the surface of the aluminum, inhibiting further reaction.
When copper reacts with sulphuric acid, copper sulfate is formed. This reaction involves the displacement of hydrogen in sulphuric acid by copper, resulting in the formation of copper sulfate and hydrogen gas.
Copper oxide, a black substance, forms when copper reacts with oxygen in the presence of air.
Copper sulfate is dissociated in water.
When barium sulfate reacts with copper sulfate, a double displacement reaction occurs. Barium sulfate and copper sulfate exchange ions to form barium sulfate and copper sulfate precipitates. The reaction results in the formation of a white solid of barium sulfate, which is insoluble in water.
White copper sulfate is anhydrous, meaning it does not contain water molecules. When water is added to white copper sulfate, it forms a hydrate compound called blue copper sulfate pentahydrate. The water molecules coordinate with the copper ions, causing the compound to change color from white to blue.
The reaction of aluminum with copper II sulfate solution is a redox reaction. Aluminum displaces copper from the copper II ion in the copper sulfate solution, forming aluminum sulfate and copper metal.
When copper sulphate reacts with iron, the solution turns blue due to the formation of copper ions in the solution. This is because copper is displaced from the copper sulfate and iron sulfate is formed, leading to the blue color of the solution.
When iron(III) reacts with copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where iron displaces copper from copper sulfate. This results in iron(II) sulfate and copper being produced as products. The iron displaces copper because it is higher in the reactivity series.
