On account of copper, extraordinary exertion has likewise been
Discussion Chapter 1 Properties and solubilities of copper - Atomic weight, 63.6; - specific gravity, 8.94 Weight per cubic foot - cast copper, 542 lb.; - rolled copper, 555 lb. Weight per cu. in., 0.32 lb. - Copper occurs chemically as cuprous compounds, - copper has a chemical equivalent of 63.6, as a dyad element 31.8 - The melting-point of copper is 1080° C - It is a red metal, but thin sheets transmit a greenish-blue light, and it also shows the same greenish blue tint when in a molten condition - The boiling-point of copper is about 2000° C. - Molten copper has a great tendency to dissolve hydrogen, carbonic oxide, and sulphur dioxide - On heating copper to a low red heat, far below its melting point, it becomes covered with a film or scale which consists of a mixture of the cuprous and cupric oxides. - Copper exhibits a greater afiinity for sulphur than do any of the other Metals - The best solvents for copper are nitric acid Influence of Impurities on the Properties of Copper - Bismuth Bismuth is the most damaging contamination in copper, as small amounts render the copper unworkable - lead Lead can be liquefied with copper in all extents, yet the larger piece of it very well may be liquated out of the compound by a delicate warmth Lead is to be found in all customary business copper, however it isn't attractive in any extent over 0.10 percent., and the lower the extent under 0.10 percent - Iron Conclusion References
