Procedure :
Take a round bottom flask.
Add 1 tsp of CuSo4.5H2O to 40 mL of 15% HCl Sol.
Solution turns green due to formation of CuCl42-.
A rolled aluminium foil is placed in the sol.
Surface aluminium oxide reacts with HCl.
Then, Aluminium reacts with HCl and release H2
[2Al + 6HCl AlCl3 + 3H2]
Energy from H2 combustion excites copper electrons; which
emit a characteristic blue-green light.
The “popping” sounds are typical for H2 combustion, whereas
the fizzing sound is due to H2 bubbles production.
