When copper oxide is heated, it undergoes a chemical reaction that causes it to lose oxygen atoms, resulting in the formation of copper metal. The mass of the copper metal formed is equal to the mass of the original copper oxide. Therefore, the overall mass remains the same.
The copper wire glows red. Once it cools...the copper reacts with the air to produce copper(II) oxide. This is shown by the black tarnish on the copper wire.
To find the number of moles, you need to divide the mass of copper oxide by its molar mass. The molar mass of copper oxide (CuO) is approximately 79.55 g/mol. Therefore, 7.95g of copper oxide is equal to 0.1 moles (7.95g / 79.55 g/mol).
When 20 g of mercury oxide is heated, it will decompose into oxygen and mercury. The combined mass of oxygen and mercury will still be 20 g, as no mass is lost or gained in a chemical reaction according to the Law of Conservation of Mass.
the copper must have combined with another substance.
Heating copper increases its temperature, causing the atoms in the copper to vibrate more vigorously, which can lead to an increase in the mass as some of the surrounding oxygen is absorbed into the copper through oxidation. This results in the formation of copper oxide on the surface of the copper, which contributes to the overall mass increase.
Solid copper appears to gain mass when heated in air, because the copper reacts with oxygen in the air to form copper oxide. However, the actual mass of the copper does not increase; the mass of the solid increases by a value equal to the mass of oxygen removed from the air.

Heating copper increases its temperature, causing the atoms in the copper to vibrate more vigorously, which can lead to an increase in the mass as some of the surrounding oxygen is absorbed into the copper through oxidation. This results in the formation of copper oxide on the surface of the copper, which contributes to the overall mass increase.
I think 3.55 grams
When magnesium is heated in air, it reacts with oxygen to form magnesium oxide. The total mass of the system, which includes the magnesium and the oxygen it reacts with, remains the same according to the Law of Conservation of Mass.
When copper is heated it oxidizes. The additional oxygen molecules it takes on when oxidizes leads it to have a higher mass.
The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is: CuO + H2 --> Cu + H2O. The molar mass of copper oxide is 79.55 g/mol, and the molar mass of copper is 63.55 g/mol. From this information, you can calculate that 2.54g of copper oxide requires 1.27g of hydrogen to complete the reaction.
