Best Answer

amphoteric, it reacts with an acid or a base to form a salt and water (a neutralisation reaction)

ZnO(s) + 2HCL (aq) = ZnCl2(aq) + H2O(l)

ZnO (s) + 2OH- (aq) = ZnO22-(s) + H2O(l)

How do you separate copper from copper oxide?

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
