No. Ions do not precipitate on their own. Since zinc is more reactive that copper it will replace copper. So placing zinc in a solution of a copper salt will cause elemental copper to precipitate.

What is the name of the insoluble substance which settles to the bottom of its container?
Insoluble. If it is also the product of a reaction of solutions, it is also a precipitate. But that does not require it to sink. There is no word to describe a precipitate that sinks.
What damage can heat cause to copper wires and its insulation?
Sufficient heat can melt the plastic insulation surrounding copper wiring, and can also cause the wire itself to oxidize or become brittle. Any of these situations causes an unsafe, and even dangerous, condition in the wiring.
What are the consequences of the ozone being depleated?
The ozone depletion could cause skin cancer. It could also cause eye cataract.
Will copper float in mercury?
To answer this question, you really need to know which anions are being used with these metals. To predict precipitates, you must know all the different ions and how they can combine. A precipitate will form when a pair of the possible combinations is not soluble. Some mercury salts are soluble and others are not, but mercury salts are not typically very soluble. Similarly, some copper salts are soluble, others are not, but they tend to be more soluble than mercury salts. So if you add two soluble copper and mercury salts together, there is a good chance that you will form a new INSOLUBLE mercury salt, and this will come out as a precipitate. Let me give an example. If you have copper(II) chloride (CuCl2) and you mix it with mercury(I) nitrate (HgNO3), both of which are soluble, then you will have the following ions floating around in solution: Cu2+, Cl-, Hg+, and NO3-. However, it turns out that HgCl is an insoluble compound. So each time these two ions bump into each other in the solution, they will form a precipitate due to the insolubility. However, both CuCl2 and Cu(NO3)2 are soluble, and so they will not precipitate. If instead you did the same thing but now used Cu(NO3)2 and Hg2SO4, no precipitate would form because both of those are soluble, and also so are CuSO4 and HgNO3. See the Web Links to the left of this answer for a table of solubilities.
Copper sulfate calcium chloride sodium carbonate barium nitrate Did they do not completely soluble in nitric and sulfuric acid precipitate forms?
This is an acid base reaction producing a salt, water and carbon dioxide. It is also exothermic and produces heat. Na2CO3 +H2SO4 ----> Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2
Why does copper sulfate and hydrochloric acid produce no precipitate?
All chlorides are fairly soluble, as are copper compounds. Sulfate ions are also relatively soluble as well, so there is nothing to precipitate (unless you cool the solution down a bit).
Can copper used to precipitate gold from gold cyanide?
yes it can u can also shuv it up ur bum
Will magnesium sulphate damage a copper fountain?
Not the copper, but what about everything else in the system? It will also slowly precipitate as it reacts with things like carbon dioxide dissolved in the water.
When a shiny grey zinc granule is added to a blue solution of copper sulfate a pink brown solid mass is formed. what is it?
It would be copper, which is a pink-brown color. We can know this because zinc is more reactive than copper, so the zinc will replace the copper in the copper sulfate solution, and copper metal will precipitate out of the solution. This is a single replacement reaction, also called a single displacement reaction.Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)You can find a metal reactivity series at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series
What results from copper II nitrate reacting with sodium hydroxide?
Solutions of copper (II) compounds will undergo precipitation reactions with sodium hydroxide solution when mixed together to produce a bright blue precipitate of copper (II) hydroxide and a solution of a sodium salt.The chemical equations for the reaction between Copper (II) nitrate and Sodium hydroxide are as follows:Cu(NO3)2 (aq) + 2NaOH (aq) → Cu(OH)2 (s) + 2NaNO3 (aq)Copper II nitrate + sodium hydroxide → copper II hydroxide + sodium nitrate
What is the term for a solid the forms when two solutions are mixed?
precipitate
give the mechanism of Benedict solution?
It is a basic oxidation/reduction reaction whereby the reducing end of a reducing sugar reduces the oxidation state of an ion (typically metal ion such as Cu2+) to a lower state such as Cu+. This new oxidation state of copper is not soluable and will precipitate to the bottom of the solution. The color of the precipitate can also be an indicator of the concentration of the sugars.
What can cause constant kidney pain?
Kidney stones could cause this. An infection could also cause continuous pain.
What is the name of the insoluble substance which settles to the bottom of its container?
Insoluble. If it is also the product of a reaction of solutions, it is also a precipitate. But that does not require it to sink. There is no word to describe a precipitate that sinks.
How can you tell a precipitate?
Do you mean after you've carried out a chemical reaction? The precipitate is the solid that forms after the solution has become saturated, ie; it will not dissolve anymore.You can also calculate if a precipitate forms using the Ionic Product and Ks.
What makes copper ii sulphate?
Copper(II) sulfate [also called - cupric sulfate or copper sulphate] has the chemical formula CuSO4. That means it is made of Copper (Cu), Sulphur (S) and Oxygen (O) It is also found with adsorbed water (hydrated) which means that you could ad Hydrogen (H) to the mix.
What do people use to combine copper and tin?
Copper and tin could be melted and combined as an alloy, They can also be fastened together by some form of brazing, like soldering.
