2CuO + C CO2(g) + 2Cu
CuO is reduced because the oxidation number of copper decreases from +2 (in CuO) to 0 (in Cu).
C is oxidised because the oxidation number of carbon increases from 0 (in C) to +4 (in CO2).
So this can be considered a redox reaction as both reduction and oxidation occurs at the same time. Since CuO is reduced, it acts as the oxidising agent. Since C is oxidised, it acts as the reducing agent.

CuO + C ----> Cu + CO2Wiki User
∙ 12y agobecause carbon is higher up in the reactivity series than copper, so it can displace it from its oxide and form the pure metal.

Why does heating with carbon extract copper from copper oxide?
The carbon will react with the oxygen in the copper oxide, forming carbon dioxide and leaving behind the copper.
Which salt is produced when copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid?
Copper oxide and hydrochloric acid will produce copper chloride.
Equation needed Copper II oxide reacts with elemental C to form elemental copper and carbon dioxide Aluminum metal and iron III oxide react to produce aluminum oxide and elemental iron?
1. Copper(II) = Cu2+ Oxygen = O2- Carbon = C4- 2CuO + C2 --> 2Cu + 2CO2 Copper (II) oxide + Carbon --> Copper + Carbondioxide 2. Aluminum = Al3+ Iron (III) = Fe3+ Oxygen = O2- 2Al + Fe2O3 --> Al2O3 + 2Fe Aluminum + Iron (III) oxide --> Aluminumoxide + Iron
What is the colour change when copper oxide is added to hydrogen?
Copper oxide is black and when reacted with Hydrogen is REDUCED to elemental copper which is "copper" colored or red-brown
Why can carbon be used to extract copper oxide?
Mg is a highly electro positive metal and hence has high affinity towards more electronegative element oxygen and thus ,oxide of Mg is very stable and can not be reduced by carbon (Carbon has less affinity than Magnesium towards oxygen). On the other hand , Zn being moderately strong electro positive metal , it has less affinity towards the more electronegative oxygen atom and its oxide is not very stable and hence can be reduced by Carbon easily (carbon has greater affinity than Zinc towards oxygen).
What Gas is formed when copper oxide reacts with carbon?
with water aswell it would become copper carbonate
What happens when copper oxide reacts with dilute sulphuric acid?
Copper Oxide reacts with Sulphuric acid to form Copper Sulphate and Water.
What is the reaction between copper oxide and carbon?
Well, im guessing that the reaction between the two will be >> copper oxide + carbon (arrow) carbon oxide + copper.
Why does heating with carbon extract copper from copper oxide?
The carbon will react with the oxygen in the copper oxide, forming carbon dioxide and leaving behind the copper.
Does copper with oxygen?
Yes, copper reacts with oxygen to form copper oxide.
What is the name of the black coating that forms on the surface of copper?
copper oxide. when it reacts with the oxygen in the air it produces copper oxide
What is formed when magnesium reacts with copper oxide?
It decomposes to form copper oxide and carbon dioxide. It is an endothermic reaction, which means it absorbes energy (as all decomposition reactions do). This is the chemical equation of the reaction: CuCO3 ----> CuO + CO2
Which salt is produced when copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid?
Copper oxide and hydrochloric acid will produce copper chloride.
What type of chemical is copper oxide?
Do you mean carbon dioxide(carbon IV oxide - CO2) or carbon monoxide CO
When burnt copper reacts with oxygen what is the remaining substance called?
Copper Oxide.
Which salt will be made when copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid?
copper chloride
Which salt is produced when copper oxide reacts with hydrchloric acid?
copper hydroxide
