 Politically Incorrect  Sponsor | Re: Na or NaO Right on P-Man!  P-man was one of the ones interested in my Boron thread awhile back. I had no idea you were so young.  You are a pretty darned smart kid. Just don't kill us all, or blow us up, OK?  What is it you want to accomplish? What is it you are trying to do? | |

 Questioning | Re: Na or NaO Originally I was trying to isolate Na, but that proved to be too dangerous, so I started to figure out the experiments that I would have used. Then I thought it would be fun to try to get Cu form CuSO4, so that is why there are all those reactions. After more research, there have been changes to make... Na2CO3 + H2SO4 --> (Carbonic Acid) decomposes to H2O + CO2 - what is the balanced equation for that? Na2CO3 + HCl --> Same thing. Strong acid protonates carbonate. Na2CO3 + H2O2 --> No Reaction. For the Cu stuff, no changes yet. | |

 Medicinal Chemist | Re: Na or NaO Ummmm... no corrections really. I just thought I'd point out that you can get elemental copper by reacting copper sulfate with some sort of metal higher than copper on the activity series (which is pretty much all of them!). Examples: zinc, iron, aluminium, etc. That is definitely the easiest way to procure elemental copper from CuSO4 ---------------- Moderator -- Chemistry, Biology, Watercooler, Competitions, Architecture. | |
