The black powder formed on copper powder in an experiment is likely copper oxide. When copper is exposed to air, it can react with oxygen to form copper oxide, which appears as a black powder. This is a common reaction observed with metals that are prone to oxidation.
GreenAdded:There are two copper oxides, differing in color:if it is black powder, then it is copper(II) oxide CuO (cupric, more common, as in the mineral 'tenoriet')if it is red powder, then it is copper(I) oxide Cu2O (cuprous oxide, as in mineral the 'cupriet' and it occurs in 'Benedict's test' on reducing sugars)
Copper sulfides, but only after heating the mixture.
Black copper oxide powder is a base because it can react with acids to form salts and water.
The black substance formed on copper is called copper oxide. It is a chemical compound that forms when copper is exposed to oxygen in the air, resulting in a black or greenish-black tarnish on the surface of the copper.

Cu2O (Copper(II) Oxide) is a Red Powder. CuO (Copper(I) Oxide) is a Black Powder.
"*Cuprous oxide*", or copper (I) oxide, *Cu**2**O*, is a red powder. "**""*Cupric oxide*", or copper (II) oxide, *CuO*, is a black powder.
When air is passed over heated copper powder, the copper undergoes oxidation, forming copper oxide. Copper oxide is black in color, which is why the heated copper powder appears black when air is passed over it.
Black copper oxide powder is a base because it can react with acids to form salts and water.
Copper oxide appears as a black or dark brown powder after copper has burned.
The black substance formed on copper is called copper oxide. It is a chemical compound that forms when copper is exposed to oxygen in the air, resulting in a black or greenish-black tarnish on the surface of the copper.
Heating a crystal of blue copper sulfate typically results in the release of water vapor, leaving behind white anhydrous copper sulfate powder. The black powder formed may be due to decomposition of the copper sulfate or impurities in the crystal. Sulfur may not be directly produced from heating copper sulfate.
When air is passed over heated copper powder, the copper powder will react with the oxygen in the air, leading to the formation of copper oxide. This reaction can result in a color change in the copper powder from its original metallic color to a reddish-brown color.
Cuprous oxide, or copper (I) oxide, Cu2O, is a red powder.Cupric oxide, or copper (II) oxide, CuO, is a black powder.
No, it is either a red powder (cuprous oxide) or a black powder (cupric oxide)
