Assertion (A): When a piece of copper metal is added to dilute sulphuric acid, the solution turns blue.  

Reason (R): Copper reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form blue copper (II) sulphate solution.  

 

Answer

  • When a piece of copper metal is added to dilute sulphuric acid, the solution turns blue . 
  • Copper is more reactive than Hydrogen (check reactivity series )
  • So it replaces Hydrogen from its solution to form blue copper (II) sulphate solution
  • Hydrogen is liberated in gaseous form. 

 

The reaction is as follows:
