The Copper Cycle | Acid, Deadly Gas and Blue Blood!

Copper metal is dissolved in nitric acid by a redox reaction forming copper (II) ions! Through a series of reactions zinc metal is eventually added precipitating the copper (II) ions back as copper metal! This is an exploration of basic reaction types and copper chemistry!
