Magnesium ribbon is put into blue copper sulphate solution the solution becomes colourless and a pinkish metal is produced?

When magnesium ribbon is put into a blue copper sulphate solution, a single displacement reaction occurs. The magnesium displaces the copper ions, forming magnesium sulfate and elemental copper. The blue color of the solution fades because copper ions are removed and the pinkish metal produced is the elemental copper that settles at the bottom of the container.


Why will iron displace copper from aqueous solutions of copper salts?

Because iron is more reactive than copper. If iron displaces copper, that releases energy (enthalpy). If copper were to displace iron, that would require energy to be used. This is less favourable and , averaged over the huge number of molecules, atoms and ions in the solution, the more energy producing reaction is vastly preferred. Hence, iron put into copper sulphate solution gets coated in copper and the solution slowly loses its blue colour. But if you put copper metal in iron sulphate solution, nothing noticable occurs.


Will a reaction take place if zinc is put in calcium nitrate?

no because copper is a less reactive metal


How is copper separated from other minerals found with?

Copper can be separated from other minerals through a process called froth flotation. In this method, crushed ores are mixed with water and chemicals, causing air bubbles to attach to the copper minerals, which then float to the top of the mixture. The separated copper concentrate can then be further processed to extract the pure copper metal.


What would happen if copper metal was added to water?

What happens when nickel is put in a copper (II) sulfate solution?

When nickel is put in a copper (II) sulfate solution, a displacement reaction occurs where the nickel replaces the copper in the solution. This results in the formation of nickel sulfate and copper metal deposits on the surface of the nickel.

If you put copper in baking soda will it make a chemical change?

No this will not make a chemical change because if you put copper in baking soda it will make a physical change because it is not changing any of the properties inside the copper.


What would happen if you put calcium wity copper sulphate?

Calcium + Copper sulfate ----> Calcium sulfate + Copper It is a single displacement reactions. The products are Calcium Sulfate (white, insoluble) and fillings of copper(reddish-brown).

What happens when you put copper sulphate in water?

When you put copper sulfate in water, it will dissolve and dissociate into copper ions (Cu2+) and sulfate ions (SO4 2-). This process creates a blue-colored solution due to the presence of copper ions in the water.
