weak reducing agent
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Chemical properties It is a weak oxidizing agent. It reacts with most metals to make copper and a metal sulfate. For example, it reacts with iron to make copper and iron(II) sulfate. It reacts with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide to make copper(II) hydroxide.
Detailed explanation-2: -Copper is an oxidizing agent in one of the redox reactions and is a reducing agent in the other redox reaction in the copper cycle procedure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Since, cupric hydroxide is a weak base and sulphuric acid is a strong acid so, hydrogen ion is more than hydroxyl ion in water and as result of this, the aqueous solution of copper sulphate is acidic in nature.
Detailed explanation-4: -Statement 1: Copper is an oxidizing agent in the reaction with silver nitrate solution.
