you obtain Cu from CuO only by reducing with hydrogen or carbon monooxide:
CuO + H2 → Cu + H2O
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.
Copper Oxide is already the scientific name. If you meant using the symbols it would be CuO.
Copper oxide has two different forms. The first is a red power, Copper (I) oxide. Otherwise known as cuprous oxide or Cu2O. The second is a black powder, Copper (II) oxide. This is also known as cupric oxide or CuO.
Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
When copper and oxygen react, they combine to form copper(II) oxide. This chemical reaction involves the transfer of electrons from copper to oxygen, resulting in the formation of the compound CuO. Copper(II) oxide is a black solid.
If it existed the formula would be Cu2O3
Cuprous oxide or copper(I) oxide. This is copper in oxidation state '1'.
The color of the precipitate formed when copper(II) hydroxide decomposes to copper(II) oxide is black. When heated, the greenish-blue copper(II) hydroxide decomposes into black copper(II) oxide, which is the color of the precipitate.
The correct chemical formula for copper oxide is Cu2O for copper(I) oxide (cuprous oxide) and CuO for copper(II) oxide (cupric oxide).
When copper is burned in the presence of air, it forms copper oxide. Copper oxide can exist in different forms, such as copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) or copper(II) oxide (CuO), depending on the conditions of the reaction.
