Copper Powder Extra Pure is a fine, reddish-brown metallic powder used extensively in laboratory applications involving redox reactions, catalysis, and the synthesis of organometallic compounds. Its high purity ensures minimal interference from contaminants, making it suitable for analytical studies, electrochemical experiments, and educational demonstrations of metal reactivity and conductivity. This powder also serves as a reducing agent in specific chemical reactions and is often utilized in material science research for investigating particle behavior and surface area effects. It should be handled in a dry, inert environment and stored in tightly sealed containers to prevent oxidation.
Copper powder Extra Pure
Primary Uses
- Reagent in Redox Reactions
- Commonly used in single displacement or metal-acid reactions to demonstrate oxidation of copper to Cu²⁺.
- Catalyst in Organic Synthesis
- Acts as a surface catalyst in coupling reactions (e.g., Ullmann reaction) and reduction reactions.
- Source of Copper Ions in Inorganic Preparations
- Used to prepare various copper salts (e.g., copper nitrate, copper sulfate) by controlled reactions with acids.
- Material for Electrochemical Studies
- Used in electrode fabrication and galvanic cell setups for teaching and research on metallic conductivity and redox behavior.
Secondary Uses
- Demonstration of Combustion and Reactivity
- In powdered form, copper can be ignited in oxygen to demonstrate metal combustion and oxide layer formation.
- Microstructural Studies
- Applied in metallurgical labs to study particle size, sintering, and surface area effects on reactivity.
- Thermal Conductivity Experiments
- Used to compare the conductivity of metals in physics or chemistry experiments.
- Synthesis of Nanomaterials
- Acts as a precursor for copper oxide nanoparticles in laboratory-scale nanochemistry.
