Copper cannot react with acid .explain |
|
Answer» Copper does not react with non-OXIDISING ACIDS like hydrochloric acid or dilute sulfuric acid. As its electrode (reduction) potential is higher than that of hydrogen, pure copper cannot DISPLACE hydrogen from such acids. But copper EASILY reacts with oxidising acids like nitric acid and HOT, concentrated sulfuric acid. |
