    fun fact: [CuCl4]^2- is actually yellow.
    But since not all of the hydrated copper ions are converted there will be a mix of “blue” and “yellow” which makes a “green” solution.

      Indeed! Thanks for noting this. You might enjoy ua-cam.com/video/sldo8s5Valg/v-deo.html

      Ah man...you said this would be a fun fact. I feel duped.

    Technically, the aluminum attacks the copper ions, since the metallic aluminum is your Lewis base (electron donor) while the copper is the Lewis acid (electron acceptor)

    It also looks just like Kool aid which makes me curious about what would happen if you drank some.

    Will the normal copper sulfate solution eat the aluminum if you scratch off the oxide layer while submerged in the copper sulfate solution?

    • @TommyTechnetium
      @TommyTechnetium  10 місяців тому

      It will not. Chloride ion is required to breach the oxide layer. I'm not 100% sure what the mechanism is behind how chloride ion does this. Weird, huh?

    This is good to know, doesn't even ring a bell in school. So if you remove the oxide layer of the aluminum would it become transmute to copper? I would like to know for copper recovery after doing a silver recovery.

    • @TommyTechnetium
      @TommyTechnetium  10 місяців тому

      If by transmute you mean change into another element, no. The copper metal formed in this experiment comes from the dissolved copper ions

      Perhaps exothermic reaction melted the plastic or aluminium pierced through plastic.
