Copper is a relatively soft metal that is most commonly used for electrical wires due to it excellent conductivity. Silver is a better conductor but copper is cheap. Copper is extremely ductile which means it can be drawn into long wires. Copper can also be used to dilute other metals. It is commonly mixed with gold to make the gold harder and more durable. Rose gold is gold that has had copper added to it.
Two common alloys of copper are bronze (mainly copper and tin) and brass (mainly copper and zinc). Both these alloys are stronger than the original copper but retain some of its wonderful colour. These alloys are used to make wonderful decorative items such as trays, boat and bathroom fittings and jewellery.
Gold money is gets is colour these days from copper rather than gold.

What is mixed with copper oxide to make copper sulphate?
Sulphuric acid is mixed with copper oxide to make copper sulphate through a chemical reaction.
What kind of a design is hammered copper?
Hammered copper can be used in many decorative or useful items. The effect of hammering the copper is to make a dented effect all over the copper. This can catch the light and make an attractive surface.
How do you make beryllium copper alloy?
To make beryllium copper alloy, beryllium is melted into copper, usually with a copper beryllium master alloy that contains a controlled amount of beryllium. The mixture is then cast into the desired shape and cooled to solidify, resulting in the beryllium copper alloy.
Which two metals did the Mesopotamians combine in order to make bronze?
The Mesopotamians combined copper and tin to make bronze. This mixture of metals produced a stronger and more durable material than either copper or tin alone.

What insoluble base used to make copper sulphate?
Sodium hydroxide is commonly used to make copper sulfate from copper oxide, which is insoluble in water. The reaction between copper oxide and sodium hydroxide forms copper sulfate and water.
How can I make copper turn green?
To make copper turn green, you can expose it to air and moisture over time. This process, called oxidation, forms a greenish layer of copper carbonate on the surface of the copper.

chemicals
Is brass made of two or more metals?
Zinc and copper make brass, and tin and copper make bronze.
What should be mixed to get copper?
Copper is an element in and of itself - you can't "mix" any other substances to get it. Copper is mixed with zinc to make brass, or with tin to make bronze.
What is mixed with copper to make brass?
Brass is mainly an alloy of copper and zinc. Some alloys do have small amounts of arsenic added also.
