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 :)


Heating CuCO3 produces carbon dioxide and what?

Heating CuCO3 (copper (II) carbonate) produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and copper oxide (CuO).


What is the advantages of heating copper oxide with carbon?

This is one way of extracting copper from copper (II) oxide. 2CuO + C -> CO2 + 2Cu


How do you separate copper from copper oxide?

I think you mean how do you extract copper from copper oxide, if so here's your answer. Take your copper oxide and heat it with something that is more reactive than copper. Carbon is a good example. The more reactive carbon will oxidise, taking the oxygen from the copper oxide leaving copper. copper oxide + carbon --> copper + carbon dioxide 2Cu0 + C --> 2Cu + CO2


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.
