It isn't. As a matter of fact, given the right temperatures, carbon can help purify copper by taking up oxygen. As any C-Cu binary phase diagram will show you, these elements do not react.
yes it does the carbon dioxide is supposed to be heated up copper carbonate
Copper Carbonate when heated decomposes to give copper oxide and carbon dioxide.
One method to obtain pure copper sulfate from an impure sample is by recrystallization. In this process, the impure sample is dissolved in water, and then the solution is heated and slowly cooled to allow pure copper sulfate crystals to form. These crystals are then filtered out and dried to obtain the pure compound.
Copper doesn't react with carbon dioxide at room temperature.
CuCO3 is bluish-greenish-white. If it is heated to a high enough temperature, it will decompose into Carbon Dioxide and Copper II Oxide, which is black.
When copper oxide is heated in a test tube with carbon, carbon acts as a reducing agent and reacts with copper oxide to form copper metal and carbon dioxide. This is a type of redox reaction where copper gains electrons from carbon, resulting in the reduction of copper oxide to copper.
carbon dioxide [CuCO3 --> CuO + CO2]
When malachite is heated, it decomposes into copper(II) oxide and carbon dioxide. The word equation for this reaction is: Copper(II) carbonate (malachite) → Copper(II) oxide + Carbon dioxide.
When copper carbonate is heated, it decomposes into copper oxide, releasing carbon dioxide gas. The remaining ionic compound is copper oxide (CuO).
Carbon dioxide is released.
If it is electrolysis you are talking about, I'm fairly confident the impure copper has to be connected to the positive terminal.
Elemental copper.
