Why cant copper react with calcium Hydroxide?
calcium is more reactive than copper. which means that the calcium will react faster than copper and it will stay that way in the presence of the less reactive copper
copper reacts with calcium hydroxide in a single replacement reaction so the copper would bond with the hydroxide and thus kick the calcium out of the molecule. This can happen because according to the activity series ( a listening of which elements are more reactive than others) the calcium is more reactive than the copper and thus the copper doesnt have the necessary strength to kick the calcium out of the molecule
