What would be the effect of adding 10 mL of 15 M H₂SO4 rather than 15 mL of 6 M H₂SO4 in the
conversion of CuO to CuSO4 ? Comment on how would this would affect the conversion of CuSO4 into
copper metal?

Expert Solution

Step 1

The reaction of a copper oxide solution takes place with sulphuric acid in both the cases and by doing this reaction copper oxide gets converted into copper sulphate. The oxidation state of copper in copper oxide is +2 and also the oxidation state of copper in copper sulphate is +2. Hence, The given reaction is not an oxidation as well as not a reduction reaction just copper oxide get converted into copper sulphate by reacting with sulphuric acid.
