Hey I'm but a simple chem student but I think the reaction is this. 2C2H3O2 + Cu = Cu(C2H3O2)2
This reaction yields Copper Acetate, again I'm not sure.
I couldn't get the subscript to work so all of the numbers are subscript except for the 2 on the very left. That is a coefficient that is balancing the reaction.
What happens is the Copper with a charge of 2+ and the Acetic acid with a charge of 1- form a compound. Because of their charges there must be two molecules of Acetic acid. Again I'm not sure if this correct but there you go.
Just thought that I would add that the Reaction between Acetic Acid and Copper will create not only Copper acetate but also Hydrogen. Water and salt are produced as reactants in an Acid/Base reaction. An acid/metal reaction will usually involve some sort of ionic reaction with H2 as a product. Therefore, the following equation is correct..
2HC2H302 + Cu = Cu(C2H3O2)2 +H2

∙ 9y agoCitric acid has the same reaction with any metal, including copper. The result of citric acid and copper is salt and hydrogen.

∙ 14y agosince it is a redox reaction it has to have something to do with the o2
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes,
Any metal + Acid produces salt and hydrogen

Does Citric Acid react with gold If so what is the reaction between Citric Acid and copper Metal?
copper gets cleaned with the citric acid do a google search for the science init
Chemical reaction in the preparation of citric acid from calamansi?
prepare citric acid using reformatsky reaction
Can citric acid not dissolve with water or it will?
Citric acid dissolves in water in an endothermic reaction.
What happens when you add hydrochloric acid to copper?
Absolutely no reaction happens, that's because copper is less reactive than hydrogen. ;)
When happens when hydrochloric acid is mixed with copper?
Absolutely no reaction, that's because copper is less active than hydrogen. ;)

What happens to the atoms in copper oxide acid to call it a chemical reaction?
Copper and oxygen atoms form to create copper oxide. This is a synthesis reaction, and it can be created when copper is burned in a fire.
When happens when hydrochloric acid is mixed with copper?
Absolutely no reaction, that's because copper is less active than hydrogen. ;)
What happens when citric acid and gold react?
Nothing!!! If it's real gold if it's fools gold the reaction is teary eyes
What is more acidic vinegar or citric acid?
Vinegar is not the same thing as citric acid; vinegar is acetic acid. Acetic acid and citric acid are both weak acids, but citric acid is slightly more acidic.
What chemicals cleans copper the best?
Acetic Acid Citric Acid Acetone Tartaric Acid Hydrochloric Acid
Does sodium react with citric acid?
Any reaction occur.
Why does lemon juice clean pennies?
The citric acid reacts with the oxidation on copper.
What is the reaction of copper chloride and hydrochloric acid?
There is no reaction.
