Copper vessels?

does mineral water poure in a copper vessel react with the sides of the container?

Answer:
Copper is a relatively noble metal and is resistant to most neutral and slightly alkaline solutions. However, copper performs poorly in waters containing carbon dioxide, sulfides, or ammonia. So, the answer to you question is dependant on what minerals are in the "mineral water." If you know the minerals, you can use this link to determine if copper will react. http://www.copper.org/resources/properti...

A major benefit of using copper vessels for storing drinking water is copper’s antimicrobial properties. Even before man new about microbes, copper was used to sterilize drinking water. http://www.copper.org/health/pdf/astm_an...
