In this reaction, we are going to use sulfuric acid and copper(II) oxide. This time there will be no gas produced. However, there will be other evidence that a chemical reaction is taking place. In ...

It was quite a surprise to learn that thermite isn’t just rust and aluminum powder, but describes any combination of metal powder, metal oxide, and optionally fuel mixed together in a reactive ratio. ...

This outlines one way to carry out the practical using copper(II) oxide powder and dilute sulfuric acid. Eye protection must be worn. 1. Add some dilute sulfuric acid to a small beaker. 2. Add some ...
