copper oxide---> copper + oxygen
copper oxide
You get a grey powder because magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series than Copper - (magnesium is more reactive than copper) therefore when you heat it up there is a displacement reaction. That grey powder is actully magnesium oxide and copper e.g Copper oxide + magnesium = magnesium oxide and copper.
Copper (I) Oxide or Cuprous Oxide
copper chloride
copper and oxygen
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.
Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper
the element was copper and the new black compound formed was copper oxide.
Copper has two oxides. Copper (I) oxide is red, while Copper (II) oxide is black.
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
Rust? The two different types of bonds between the copper and oxygen in copper oxide are: Copper(II)Oxide CuO Copper(I)Oxide Cu2O
Cuprous oxide or copper(I) oxide. This is copper in oxidation state '1'.
