I was making copper sulfate, for some reason it turned blue over night :S i need help lol

as I said in another thread, the magnesium hydroxide has displaced the copper, you now have your original starting electrolyte and load of green Copper Hydroxide :)

now it turned black :P

i did it agian but for longer, it has stayed blue. yay!! finally.

splendid :)

now see if ya can work this one out, I made the copper hydroxide from the mag sulphate, washed and dried it.

I`ve been re-cycling sulphuric acid and hydrogen peroxide from a synth that only uses the sulphuric as a catalyst.

it put the green powder in , it turned red/brown and fizzed alot, anyway, it ate all that was left of the powder, and when I put raw copper wire in it, THAT STARTED fizzing too!?

now I have a lovely deep blue soln, most the raw copper has been eaten away, and sulphuric acid does NOT DO THIS!!!???

 

so what the hell have I made???

LOL :)
