Can copper be transmuted to nickel in some way?
You will need to shred 4 neutrons, 1 proton and 1 electron right out of the nucleus of a Copper atom. Or give a Copper atom a lot of heat and pressure, not even its boiling temperature could be enough, until it felt like giving away exactly these particles on its own to become Nickel. A supernova can possibly do this transformation, but who knows if the Copper would become Nickel instead of more stable metals such as Iron and Cobalt.
An alloy consists of nickel, zinc, and copper in the ratio 2:7:9. How many pounds of nickel has to be used to create an alloy that contains 4.9 lb of zinc?
The ratio of components of an alloy is 2:7:9 for Ni:Zn:Cu. I am assuming that this ratio is by weight.So, the weight of nickel is 2/7 that of zinc, so 2/7 x 4.9lb = 1.4lbSo, the actual weights are:Nickel 1.4lbZinc 4.9lbCopper 6.3lb
An alloy contains copper, zinc and nickel in the ratio of 5 : 3 : 2. The quantity of nickel in kg that must be added to 100 kg of this alloy to have the new ratio 5 : 3 : 3 is?
let you add x kg of nickelnow you have 50 kg of Cu , 30kg of Zn and 20+x kg of Ninow 50:30 : (20+x ) = 5:3:3so 30:(20+x) = 3:320+x = 30x = 10;so you should add 10 kg of Ni

If I melt bronze (an alloy of copper and tin), will the tin melt first before the copper and separate as tin melts at 231.9 °C and copper melts at 1,085 °C. If not, how can bronze or other alloys be separated into their elemental metals again.
Other answers incorrectly suggest using fractional distillation or other vaporization methods to separate the metals. Although these answers may be "technically" correct metals are never separated using this method because of the extreme temperatures required. For example, the heat of vaporization for tin is 2600°C.The actual separation method requires the entire alloy to be melted. Although the tin may melt first, it will remain dispersed throughout the solid metals that remain. The entire structure needs to melt in order to use bulk separation methods. Once you melt the entire alloy the separation is fairly easy to complete because the metals will naturally separate into their distinct species. It is actually fairly challenging, and subject of considerable process engineering efforts, to properly mix metallic alloys while they cool. They have a strong tendency to form intermetallics, species containing different fractions of the desired elemental components. My girlfriend teaches metallurgical engineering at the University of Illinois. Her PhD focused on various alloys of magnesium. Several of her alloys contained calcium, and they required considerable mixing right before they cooled into a solid. Otherwise they would obtain a chunk containing numerous different intermixed alloys.For some alloys it may also be possible to use electrolysis to separate the elemental sub-species. However, not all alloys will separate using this method, and in many instances it will not completely separate out all of the elements of the alloy.My girlfriend and I are both nerds and we had an awesome discussion this morning about this subject.
I have to do a science project on copper?
i need to do a project on copper and i have to awnsers thes questions in my project and i can't find the awnsers so if you could just try and awnser a few that would be great How is copper measured in water and how do you know if it's in your water? at what amount does it become a problem? How can you get rid of this substance if it's in your water?
Which was an outcome of domesticating animals to pull plows?
A) a decrease in trade B) the end of foraging C) population decrease D) the diversification of labor As people domesticated animals, the incidence of disease A) increased among people who lived in close proximity with animals. B) increased, except among foragers, who had developed resistance to many illnesses. C) diminished, as exposure to animals provided new antibodies for humans. D) diminished because people were made stronger by the regular ingestion of protein. 4.Neolithic metalsmiths combined copper with other metals such as zinc or tin to create what harder metallic alloy? A) bronze B) nickel C) steel D) silver
What Are Some Uses for copper?
The chief commercial use of copper is based on its electrical conductivity (second only to that of silver); about half the total annual output of copper is employed in the manufacture of electrical apparatus and wire. Copper is also used extensively as roofing, in making copper utensils, and for coins and metalwork. Copper tubing is used in plumbing, and, because of its high heat conductivity, in heat-exchanging devices such as refrigerator and air-conditioner coils. Powdered copper is sometimes used as a pigment in paints. An important use of copper is in alloys such as brass, bronze, gunmetal, Monel metal, and German silver. Compounds of copper are widely used as insecticides and fungicides; as pigments in paints; as mordants (fixatives) in dyeing; and in electroplating.
