Question

Why does copper does not react with acids? Give reasons.

Answer 1

Answer:

Copper does not react with dilute sulphuric acid. ... This happens because iron; being more reactive than copper; displaces copper from copper sulphate and makes iron sulphate.

Answer 2

Answer:

➡ Copper does not react with dilute sulphuric acid, liberating hydrogen because copper is lower in electromotive series than hydrogen, or more fundamentally, because the magnitude of change in gibbs free energy when a single atom of elemental hydrogen ionizes is greater than the magnitude of the change in gibbs free..
