In order to extract copper from malachite, the malachite must be heated to a high temperature. This produces a fine black powder (copper Oxide). The copper oxide is heated again to a more extreme temperature, this removes the oxygen, leaving metallic copper.
The main ores of copper are chalcopyrite, bornite, chalcocite, and malachite. Chalcopyrite is the most abundant and widely distributed copper mineral, while bornite and chalcocite are also important sources of copper. Malachite is a secondary copper mineral that forms as a result of copper oxidation.
No, malachite is not an element. Malachite is a mineral that is composed of copper, carbon, and oxygen atoms.
According to my chemistry book it's copper carbonate.
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.
Neither. It is a chemical compound. It is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, with the formula Cu2CO3(OH)2.

The mineral malachite is found in oxidization zones of copper deposits.
Malachite is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, with the formula Cu2 CO3 (OH)2, so your answer would be 'copper'
the ores of copper are chalcopyrite .malachite .azurite. and native copper.
The copper ore malachite is formed as the result of natural hydrothermal processes.
Malachite is a green mineral that contains copper. It is a secondary mineral formed in the oxidation zones of copper ore deposits.
Neither. It is a chemical compound. It is a copper carbonate hydroxide mineral, with the formula Cu2CO3(OH)2.
The mineral malachite is an ore of copper.
The ores of Copper are usually copper carbonates such as Malachite.
