How do you get pure Copper metal from copper sulfate?

Question

I mean mix the copper sulfate in water and whate metal do i add to make it grow pure copper crystals?

Answer 1

Easiest to find, grab that roll of aluminum foil, rip off a piece and drop it in.

Answer 2

In the purification of copper, the impure copper is the anode. The pure copper is the cathode. When an electric current flows through the electrodes, the impure copper breaks down. The copper atoms lose two electrons to form copper ions with a charge of 2+. Ionic Equation at Anode: Cu -> 2e- + Cu2+ These copper ions, which are positively charged then move through the electrolyte to the cathode, which is negatively charged. The electrolyte is a solution of a copper salt, usually copper sulphate. At the cathode, the copper ions gain two electrons to form copper atoms. Ionic Equation at Cathode: Cu2+ + 2e- -> Cu As the impure copper rod breaks down, precious metals such as gold and silver fall to the bottom of the electrolytic vessel. This is known as anode mud and help make the process economical.

Answer 3

tell you what contact the White Pine Copper Co, in White Pine, MI they produce the purest copper in the world, someone there will help ya with your question

Answer 4

Zinc is the metal normally used.

Answer 5

I'm not speaking to you !
