Is copper oxide an acid?
No. Copper oxide has no acid-base properties.
Why is copper oxide a base but not an alkali?
Copper oxide is unsoluble in water. A requirement for an alkali is: a soluble base. So copper oxide is a base but not an alkali.
Is copper oxide a alkali?
Copper oxide is not an alkaline but it is a base
What is the word equation of copper oxide reacting with sulfuric acid to make copper sulphate?
Copper oxide+ Sulphuric acid ----> copper sulphate +water
Does copper oxide react with hydrochloric acid?
Yes copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid and it forms a blue green compound.
Is copper oxide an acid?
No. Copper oxide has no acid-base properties.
What base and which acid would you choose in order to make copper sulphate?
Copper oxide CuO and Sulphuric acid H2SO4 .This answer does not mean that it is a safe thing to do.

Is copper oxide a alkali?
Copper oxide is not an alkaline but it is a base
Which salt is produced when copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid?
Copper oxide and hydrochloric acid will produce copper chloride.
What is the word equation of copper oxide reacting with sulfuric acid to make copper sulphate?
Copper oxide+ Sulphuric acid ----> copper sulphate +water
What happens when copper oxide reacts with dilute sulphuric acid?
Copper Oxide reacts with Sulphuric acid to form Copper Sulphate and Water.
Does copper oxide fizz when it's put in sulfuric acid?
Yes, Copper oxide does fizz when it reacts with Sulphuric Acid
Does copper oxide react with hydrochloric acid?
Yes copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid and it forms a blue green compound.
What is the balanced equation for the reaction of sulphuric acid and copper oxide?
This will depend upon which version of copper oxide you have - copper I oxide or copper II oxide. For copper I oxide: H2SO4 + Cu2O --> Cu2SO4 + H2O For copper II oxide: H2SO4 + CuO --> CuSO4 + H2O
Copper oxide plus sulphuric acid?
Chemical formulas: - CuO, Cu(II)-oxide, cupric oxide (monocopper oxide), black - Cu2O, Cu(I)-oxide, cuprous oxide (dicopper oxide), red - sulfuric acid, H2SO4 CuO + H2SO4 --> CuSO4 + H2O , cupric sulfate, blue solution Cu2O also reacts with dilute sulfuric acid forming CuSO4 by: Cu2O + 2 H2SO4 --> CuSO4 + H2O + H2, cupric sulfate, blue solution
Is copper a Lewis acid or a Lewis base?
Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is neither an acid nor a base, but is a salt.
