It is best prepared by heat- ing copper with sulphuric acid. We should naturally expect the copper simply to take the place of the hydrogen of the acid, thus: Cu + H a S0 4 = CuS0 4 + 2H. ; 1 Digitized by VjOOQIC Probably this action takes place first.

[Compare the action of copper on sulphuric acid with that of copper on nitric acid. What analogy-is there be- tween the two cases?] Experiment 95. — Put eight or ten pieces of sheet-copper, one to two inches long and about half an inch wide, into a 500-cc. flask; pour 15 to 20 cc. concentrated sulphuric acid upon it On heating, sulphur dioxide will be evolved.
