ive tried making sulfuric acid by slowly bubbling H₂ from a flask of iron and 10M HCL into a container of copper sulfate pentahydrate. Just to push the reaction more infavor of the hydrogen replacing the copper, because i noticed that the diffrence was only a slightly negative Ev, i made a make shift battery from some iron and aluminum solution that i had on the shelf.. and ran the wire through the copper sulfate solution

the electricity running through the wire should not be inhibited because the copper sulfate is a strong electrolyte..

so the question is why does this not work? I know hydrogen can be used to precipitate out other noble metals but .. why is this not working

Is it just that i need to increase the surface area of the hydrogen and the copper sulfate by using pourous glass to bubble the hydrogen, by using a saturated or super saturated solution of the copper sulfate, and use a chemicals for the battery to increase voltage...as the voltage for the battery im using currently is not very high.
