Copper melts at a lower temperature than iron. Therefore, in order to remove it from the ore in which it is found, and in order to work it, a hotter fire is needed to for iron than for copper. Making a fire hot enough to extract and work iron is more difficult, so iron tools were more difficult to obtain than copper tools.
The iron is higher in they reactivity scale than copper , Therefore the copper will be replaced by iron to make iron sulfate and copper by itself.
No, copper is less reactive than iron.
Since iron is a more active metal than copper, the iron would replace the copper in the copper sulfate, forming iron sulfate, and releasing elemental copper. The copper will not shape itself into a copper vessel, so eventually, the iron sulfate would leak out of the iron vessel, and eventually, if there is enough copper sulfate, the iron vessel will cease to exist.
Iron is more reactive than copper.
No, Copper is Cu, Iron is Fe

Iron smelting required a lot of wood, which the Egyptians did not have
There are several reasons: * Iron is less malleable than copper so the tools can be thinner and lighter and still have the durability and strength needed * Iron has a higher melting point than copper * Iron does not conduct heat as well as copper so the handles of iron tools stay cooler longer * Iron is about a tenth the price of copper
copper, iron and gold
tools in ancient egypt were made out of wood, copper, bronze, and iron
Because the use of copper, an alloy of copper and tin, was used to greatly enhance societies that used it. They used it for armor, weapons and tools.
copper, bronze and iron in that order
They take iron, copper, steel, wood, etc. and shape it into its form.
Iron needs to be heated to a much higher temperature to find and mold
The metals copper, gold, meteoric iron, which are available in their metallic form naturally without needing smelting or other high temperature processing of ores. The first commonly used metal tools were copper tools. Gold and meteoric iron due to their rarity were usually reserved for kings or religious purposes.
The iron is higher in they reactivity scale than copper , Therefore the copper will be replaced by iron to make iron sulfate and copper by itself.
