i THINK its copper oxide and carbon dioxide but im not sure and im only 14 lol
you are correct.... im only 12 lol
This compound is the copper(II) oxide, CuO.
When copper carbonate is heated, it changes from its green color to black copper oxide.
Elemental copper.
Carbonate by itself is an ion that does not contain copper and therefore could not produce copper if heated. However, because carbonate is a negatively charged ion, no substantial number of carbonate ions can exist stably except in association with an equal number of positively charged cations to neutralize the electrical charge of the carbonate ions. If these cations are cations of copper, then copper oxide can be produced by heating the copper carbonate salt.
The process is call decomposition.
Copper Carbonate when heated decomposes to give copper oxide and carbon dioxide.
When copper II carbonate is heated, it decomposes to form copper II oxide, carbon dioxide, and oxygen gas. Copper II oxide has no odor, carbon dioxide is a colorless and odorless gas, and oxygen gas is also odorless. So, overall, the products do not have a noticeable smell.
When copper carbonate is heated, it decomposes into copper oxide, releasing carbon dioxide gas. The remaining ionic compound is copper oxide (CuO).
When copper carbonate is heated, a thermal decomposition reaction occurs. This reaction causes copper carbonate to break down into copper oxide and carbon dioxide gas, which is released as a byproduct.
When copper is heated in oxygen, the compound formed is copper oxide.
The symbol for the reaction that occurs when copper carbonate is heated is: CuCO3(s) → CuO(s) + CO2(g)
Either sodium carbonate or copper carbonate
