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

When you heat copper oxide and magnesium why do you get grey powder?

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.
