Copper is one of the few metals that have been mined for more than 100 decades globally. According to M.G.C Wilson (1989) copper has been mined since the early 3000 BC in Cyprus. In the ancient times copper was used for making tools‚ weapons‚ ornaments and many household utensils. Copper is the third most widely used metal after aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) because of its high durability (Doebrich et.al‚2009). In the Southern African region copper has been extracted by the early inhabitants long

When you mix copper‚ silver‚ and nitrate together‚ you will end up with silver nitrate solution will turn blue (it has become copper nitrate). On the piece of copper‚ there would be a coating of solid silver. If a chemical reaction is going to be observed when chemicals are mixed‚ heated or any other means of altering the substance‚ then we will be able to predict the products formed. If it is observed that in the original versus the changed substance no new substances are formed‚ the change is reversible

experiment‚ we were trying to see whether copper‚ after a chain of chemical reactions‚ will revert back to its elemental form. Procedure: First‚ I added nitric acid with copper in a beaker‚ which turned into a copper nitrate‚ a blue-green solution. Afterwards‚ I added sodium hydroxide‚ and my solution colored to a dark blue solution called copper hydroxide. I heated the solution to evaporate the water and I got a brownish-blackish solid called copper oxide. Once the solid appeared‚ I poured

Copper and Molybdenum Deposits in the United States Copper and molybdenum resources were not recognized as valuable commodities until economic needs demanded the collection and processing of these minerals in large amounts. The most expansive deposits of copper and molybdenum occur in massive low grade ores and are found in intrusive porphyry formations‚ although many smaller sized but higher grade ores are located in non-porphyry areas. The nation has abundant domestic copper ore reserves but

In the Atacama Deseret one of the largest mines there was a clasp. On this day 33 miners were unaccounted for after they did a head count of all the miners that come out the dust and dirt. The company was not sure if they were alive or dead. The community that these men lived in was grief stricken and their families were
