What would happen when a few pieces of Copper metal is put in a beaker containing dilute Sulphuric acid ? Correct Answer No reaction takes place.

The correct answer is No reaction takes place.

Key Points

  • Copper does not react with dilute sulphuric acid.
  • So, no reaction will take place when diluting sulphuric acid is poured onto a copper plate.
  • But when concentrated sulphuric acid is poured onto a copper plate, effervescence is observed.
  • Iron is more reactive than copper.

Additional Information

Some important properties of Copper:

  • Excellent heat conductivity.
  • Excellent electrical conductivity.
  • Good corrosion resistance.
  • Good biofouling resistance.
  • Good machinability.
  • Retention of mechanical and electrical properties at cryogenic temperatures.
  • Non-magnetic.

In a batch process, the reaction takes place in the presence of an acid medium. The acid is drained from the reaction vessel at the rate of 15ml/s as a result of the density difference of the acid from the reacting component. To avoid wastage of acid, it is recycled to an acid tank which has 1000 L capacity. The acid drained from the reaction vessel, picks up 50 g/L solids from the reactor. Acid is fed once again to the process from acid tank. When the process is started, the acid is almost pure in the tank as a result of filtration. As the reaction proceeds, acid in the tank gets more and more contaminated with the solids. The concentration of the solids should not exceed 100 g/L from the process point of view. The batch time is 16h. Estimate whether the concentration of the solids will exceed 100g/L during the batch reaction.
