Question:
how copper gets rusted
Answer:
In case of rusting of copper, the metallic copper reacts with oxygen, carbon-dioxide and atmospheric moisture and develops a green coloured coating of copper hydroxide and copper carbonate.
2Cu (Copper) +H2O (moisture) +CO2 + O2 --> Cu (OH) 2 (Copper hydroxide) + CuCO3 (Copper carbonate)
