I think you mean how do you extract copper from copper oxide, if so here's your answer.
Take your copper oxide and heat it with something that is more reactive than copper. Carbon is a good example. The more reactive carbon will oxidise, taking the oxygen from the copper oxide leaving copper.
copper oxide + carbon --> copper + carbon dioxide
2Cu0 + C --> 2Cu + CO2

In order to separate copper oxide from zinc oxide, add sodium hydroxide solution to the mixture. Zinc oxide being amphoteric will react with NaOH to form Na22+[Zn(OH)4]2- whereas copper oxide will remain undissolved. Zinc oxide can be recovered from the solution adding acid to it.

What method is used to separate copper from copper sulphate solution?
By heating copper sulfate is decomposed in copper(II) oxide and sulfur trioxide; by reduction of the copper oxide with hydrogen copper is obtained.
How do you separate powdered charcoal from a mixture of copper oxide?
To separate powdered charcoal from a mixture containing copper oxide, just add water. Charcoal is considered quite a bit less dense than water and one set of tables gives the density as circa 400 kg.m-3 . Copper oxide is much more dense than water or charcoal. So the copper oxide will sink to the bottom and the charcoal will float to the top of the water. This can now be decanted and filtered leaving the charcoal on the filter paper which can be dried and to leave charcoal. Then with a separate filtration, the copper oxide and traces of water can be filtered and then dried.
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
How do you separate copper oxide from a mixture of copper oxide and zinc oxide?
wel u put the mixture in a glass cup and pour vinegar and salt and surgar into it. mix it around by putting ur hand on top of the glass and shake.the apply 2 pints of water and shake it. then watch as they separate!!!!!!!!!! its cool. trust me=)
What colour is copper oxide and why?
Copper has two oxides. Copper (I) oxide is red, while Copper (II) oxide is black.
Is copper oxide a pure substance?
No, its a compound which is 2 or more elements combined. Copper oxide is copper + oxygen which are 2 separate substances.
How can you separate ammonium chloride and copper oxide?
Ammonium chloride is soluble in water and copper oxide not; dissolve the mixture and filter.
What method is used to separate copper from copper sulphate solution?
By heating copper sulfate is decomposed in copper(II) oxide and sulfur trioxide; by reduction of the copper oxide with hydrogen copper is obtained.
What is the name for the compound Cu2O?
Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
What is the name of Cu2O?
CuO = Cupric Oxide Cupric = Cu2+ and is not Cu The correct answer would be CuO = Copper Monoxide Copper (II) oxide is the name of the compound CuO.
What does magnesium and copper oxide make?
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper

What is the balanced equation for the reaction of sulphuric acid and copper oxide?
This will depend upon which version of copper oxide you have - copper I oxide or copper II oxide. For copper I oxide: H2SO4 + Cu2O --> Cu2SO4 + H2O For copper II oxide: H2SO4 + CuO --> CuSO4 + H2O
Copper and oxygen react to form copper II oxide?
Rust? The two different types of bonds between the copper and oxygen in copper oxide are: Copper(II)Oxide CuO Copper(I)Oxide Cu2O
What is copper oxide made up of?
copper oxide---> copper + oxygen
