The correct Answer is:
To determine the appropriate container for storing a solution of copper sulfate, we need to consider the reactivity of the metals involved and the nature of copper sulfate itself. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Composition of Copper Sulfate**: Copper sulfate (CuSO₄) is a salt formed from copper and sulfuric acid. It is commonly encountered in its pentahydrate form (CuSO₄·5H₂O). 2. **Consider the Reactivity of Metals**: - Copper is a transition metal, and it is relatively unreactive compared to other metals. - Silver (Ag) is also a noble metal and does not react with copper sulfate. 3. **Select Suitable Materials for the Container**: - Since copper sulfate does not react with silver, a container made of silver would be safe for storing copper sulfate solution. - Other materials that are commonly used for chemical storage, such as glass or certain plastics, are also suitable as they do not react with copper sulfate. 4. **Conclusion**: A solution of copper sulfate may be safely kept in a container made of silver (argentum) or other non-reactive materials like glass. ### Final Answer: A solution of copper sulfate may be kept safely in a container made up of silver (argentum) or glass.
