What is the word equation for the reaction that happens when malachite is heated?
The chemical equation is:Cu2CO3(H2O)----------------2 CuO + CO2 + H2O
How do you get copper out of malachite?
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.
What form is copper most commonly found in?
It is most often found in the carbonate mineral malachite.
Why is it necessary to heat the malachite green?
Malachite green is used as a primary stain in bacteria. It is necessary to heat the malachite green in order to penetrate the endospore of the bacteria.
What are the ores in copper?
Any deposit of rock or mineral, such as malachite, that has a content of copper high enough to make it economically feasible to mine.
How does the malachite green stain enter an endospore?
It is heated.
What is the word equation for the reaction that happens when malachite is heated?
The chemical equation is:Cu2CO3(H2O)----------------2 CuO + CO2 + H2O
What is the transparency of malachite?
The transparency of malachite is opaque in massive form and translucent in crystalline forms.
How do you get copper out of malachite?
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.
What do you make from malachite?
Malachite makes a green dye, which is used to colour many green chemicals, such as cleaners. The dye is extremely potent - a tiny pinch of the powder can colour a large vat of chemical.
Why ore of copper is not concentrated by hydraulic washing?
Copper ore, usually in the form of malachite, needs to be refined through a chemical reaction, rather than a mechanical separation as with washing. It needs to be ground and heated to separate out the copper metal from the compound.
Can you write a sentence on malachite?
Malachite is a green mineral. Malachite can be found in Arizona.
How is malachite mined?
how is malachite mined
What is a TONGS used for in a lab?
to hold heated chemicals
Does olivine form to anything when heated?
can heat form while heated
What rhymes with malachite?
There are no perfect rhymes for the word malachite.
What rock did malachite?
The predominant metal in malachite is copper.Related Information:Malachite is an opaque bright blue to bright green copper carbonate hydrate, a semiprecious mineral, that contains the metal copper in combination with carbonate and hydroxide groups. Malachite often contains other metals, but only in small amounts.The chemical formula for malachite is CuCO3.Cu(OH)2.
