Copper metal can be produced from a solution containing copper sulphate by passing the solution ver a vat containing iron metal scraps. Write the half-cell and the overall reaction equations of the process. If the copper is produced by hydrogen reduction, write the appropriate reaction equations and sketch the precipitation window for the process. (log KCu = 11.44; log KH2 = 0)
