2Cu + O2 -> 2CuO

Now you have an ionic bond because the oxygen has taken two electrons from copper into it's valance shell. Thus, copper is oxidized; loses electrons.

Is Cu oxidized or reduced in CuO plus H2 yields Cu plus H2O?

Cu is oxidized. The oxidation number goes from 0 in Cu to +2 in CuSO4. S is reduced. The oxidation number goes from +6 in H2SO4 to +4 in SO2. The oxidizing agent is H2SO4 since it causes Cu to be oxidized. The reducing agent is Cu since it causes S in H2SO4 to be reduced.


Which metal Zn or Cu can be oxidized easily?

Zinc (Zn) can be oxidized more easily compared to copper (Cu) because zinc has a lower standard reduction potential. This means that zinc is more likely to lose electrons and be oxidized in a redox reaction.


What element is oxidized and which element is reduced in the following reaction Zn plus CuSO4----ZnSO4 plus Cu?

In this reaction, zinc (Zn) is oxidized to form zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) while copper (Cu2+) in copper sulfate (CuSO4) is reduced to copper (Cu). The zinc loses electrons (oxidized) to form zinc sulfate, while the copper gains electrons (reduced) to form solid copper.

Which metal was oxidized by two other ions?

Iron (Fe) is a metal that can be oxidized by two common ions: copper ions (Cu^2+) and silver ions (Ag^+).


What is the product of Cu plus O2?

Copper has 2 possible valence configurations: Cu+1 or Cu+2. In either case, the products would be Copper oxide but their chemical characteristics, and their formulas, would be different, due to the difference in valence.For Cu+1, the product would be a red powder, of the formula, Cu2O.For Cu+2, the product would be a black powder, of the formula, CuO
