How do you separate copper from copper oxide?
I think you mean how do you extract copper from copper oxide, if so here's your answer. Take your copper oxide and heat it with something that is more reactive than copper. Carbon is a good example. The more reactive carbon will oxidise, taking the oxygen from the copper oxide leaving copper. copper oxide + carbon --> copper + carbon dioxide 2Cu0 + C --> 2Cu + CO2
What is the word equation for zinc oxide plus magnesium?
Zinc oxide reacts with metallic magnesium to produce magnesium oxide and metallic zinc.
Zinc oxide plus sulfuric acid?
Zinc sulphate+ hydrogen
Why does zinc and copper create a higher voltage than copper and copper in a circuit?
It is very weird and I am gonna help. Zinc and copper create a higher voltage than copper and copper because zinc has a higher voltage than copper so copper plus zinc equals more than copper plus copper.
What do copper and zinc make?
SO4 (sulfate) is soluble only when combined with Ba2+, Pb2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+. Since ZnSO4 is not soluble, nothing happens.
What does copper oxide plus zinc metal form?
Zn(s) + CuO(s) → ZnO(s) + Cu(s) Copper metal and Zinc Oxide is formed.

What does zinc plus oxygen equals?
Zinc is a metal and Oxygen is a non-metal.
Why does sodium oxide plus zinc give sodium zincate plus hydrogen?
It doesn't. There is no source of hydrogen atoms in the equation, and there is no zincate. Sodium oxide plus zinc produces zinc oxide plus sodium. Na2O + Zn ---> ZnO + 2Na
What is the word equation for zinc oxide plus magnesium?
Zinc oxide reacts with metallic magnesium to produce magnesium oxide and metallic zinc.

What type of reaction is this 2ZnO plus C gives 2Zn plus CO2?
This is an oxidation-reduction reaction. The carbon reduces the zinc oxide to zinc and the zinc oxide oxidises the carbon to carbon dioxide. It can also be called a displacement reaction, as the carbon displaces the zinc from its oxide.
Zinc plus Copper sulphate?
zinc hydrogenate + copper = zinc + copper sulphate
What do copper and zinc make?
SO4 (sulfate) is soluble only when combined with Ba2+, Pb2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+. Since ZnSO4 is not soluble, nothing happens.
What is the balanced symbol equation for zinc plus copper II sulphate -- zinc sulphate plus copper II?
copper (II) sulfate is CuSO4 ; Zinc sulfate is ZnSO4 Zn + CuSO4 --> ZnSO4 + Cu
Is zinc plus cupric sulfate equals zinc sulfate plus copper a single displacement reaction?
Yes: Elemental zinc displaces copper from its compounds because zinc is higher in the electromotive series.
