No, both copper and carbon are elements. Carbon is the basic element involved in organic chemistry. Copper is a very important element which is used in the pure form in a variety of situations, especially electrical conduction. It is also a good thermal conductor so is commonly used as a "heat sink" to radiate heat away from sensitive electronics.

Copper may be combined with carbon in certain compounds, often called "organometallic" compounds but as the question is posed, copper does not contain (have) carbon in it.

Good luck,

Who has more protons carbon or copper?

Copper has more protons than carbon. Copper has 29 protons while carbon has 6 protons.


Why does heating with carbon extract copper from copper oxide?

Heating copper oxide with carbon (in the form of coal or charcoal) causes a reduction reaction, where carbon removes oxygen from copper oxide to produce carbon dioxide and leave behind pure copper. This process is known as a reduction reaction, where carbon acts as a reducing agent to extract copper from its oxide form.


When copper oxide is heated in carbon what is produced?

Copper doesn't react with carbon dioxide at room temperature.


Is it necessary to extract copper from earth?

yes because it can only be made by heating copper ore and carbon. The ore breaks down into copper oxide and the carbon then removes oxygen leaving the copper.. copper oxide + carbon = (arrow/ gives out) copper + carbon dioxide hpe it helped :)


What is formed when copper oxide is heated in a test tube with carbon?

When copper oxide is heated in a test tube with carbon, carbon acts as a reducing agent and reacts with copper oxide to form copper metal and carbon dioxide. This is a type of redox reaction where copper gains electrons from carbon, resulting in the reduction of copper oxide to copper.


What is the reaction between copper oxide and carbon?

Well, im guessing that the reaction between the two will be >> copper oxide + carbon (arrow) carbon oxide + copper.


How copper can be extracted from copper(II)oxide using carbon?

Copper can be extracted from copper(II) oxide by heating a mixture of copper(II) oxide and carbon. The carbon, in the form of charcoal or coke, reduces the copper oxide to form copper metal and carbon dioxide gas. The reaction can be represented as: CuO + C -> Cu + CO2.


Is carbon- dioxide present in copper sulphate?

No, carbon dioxide is not present in copper sulfate. Copper sulfate is composed of copper, sulfur, and oxygen atoms, not carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a molecule composed of carbon and oxygen atoms.


Can copper be extracted from its compounds using carbon?

Yes, copper can be extracted from its compounds using carbon through a process called smelting. The carbon reduces the copper oxide to metal, forming carbon dioxide as a byproduct. This process is commonly used in the extraction of copper from ores such as copper oxide.


Is CuOH hydrocarbon?

No. A hydrocarbon has carbon in it but CuOH (copper hydroxide) has copper, oxygen, and hydrogen but no carbon.


Does carbon dioxide have copper in it?

yes it does the carbon dioxide is supposed to be heated up copper carbonate
