Metals can react with acids to make soluble salts, why cannot all metals be used in this way?
Not reactive enough or too reactive
How is an insoluble base like copper oxide used to make a soluble salt?
Excess copper oxide is added to acid and the extra is filtered out before evaporation and crystallisation
