It is true some food products labeled as baby carrots are made by cutting down larger roots, and that these items can be treated with chlorine during processing. However, itâs not true thereâs anything wrong with the larger carrots theyâre made from, or that the resultant vegetables reach consumers in a chlorine-soaked state.
The silver is reduced to elemental silver and the copper is oxidized to copper(II): Cu(0) + 2AgNO 3 = Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2Ag(0). The silver crystallizes at the surface of the copper and the copper wire quickly becomes coated with a bunch of elemental silver.
Reaction of copper with acids. Copper metal dissolves in hot concentrated sulphuric acid to form solutions containing the aquated Cu(II) ion together with hydrogen gas, H 2. In practice, the Cu(II) is present as the complex ion [Cu(OH 2) 6 ] 2+ .Cu(s) + H 2 SO 4 (aq) â Cu 2+ (aq) + SO 4 2- (aq) + H 2 (g).eaction of copper with the halogens. The reaction between copper metal and the halogens fluorine, F 2, chlorine, Cl 2, or bromine, Br 2, affords the corresponding dihalides copper(II) fluoride, CuF 2, copper(II) chloride, CuCl 2, or copper(II) bromide, CuBr 2 respectively. Cu(s) + F 2 (g) â CuF 2 (s) [white].
