Copper plating on iron piece

Articles Required:Some iron article like a nail or a screw, sulphate of copper.

If an iron piece is left at a place directly affected by the change in weather conditions, you won’t have any difficulty in predicting the changes wrought on it. What do you say? It will get rusted? That’s right. There’s no doubt about the fact that iron starts catching rust as soon as it comes in contact with air and water.

But there is more to this phenomenon of rusting of iron. If an iron piece is copper-plated, this process of rusting can be slowed down to a considerable extent. And the greatest thing is that this process of copper plating is very easy. All you have to dq is to prepare a concentrated copper sulphate solution and leave your iron piece in it for some time. The copper plating will be done automatically. In fact, even if you leave it just for a few seconds, your iron will get copper-plated. But if you want a really thick coating you’ll have to wait for a little longer.
