Cu is Copper, C Carbon, and O Oxygen.
combined the formula is Cu2CO3
when looking at the Periodic Table Copper is a transition metal forming a (|) or + charge.
Carbon has a 4- Charge, and Oxygen a 2- charge, Combing both the Carbon and Oxygen forms a Molecular since its a 3+ charge the ending will be -ate.

The number of atoms in one formula unit of the more common type of copper carbonate, which has the formula CuCO3, is 5: 3 oxygen atoms and 1 each of copper and carbon.
What is copper carbonate made out of?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper(II)_carbonateopper(II) carbonate (often called copper carbonateor cupric carbonate) is a blue-green compound (chemical formula CuCO3) forming part of the verdigris patina one sees on weathered brass, bronze, and copper. The colour can vary from bright blue to green, because there may be a mixture of both copper carbonate and basic copper carbonate in various stages of hydration. It was formerly much used as a pigment, and is still in use for artist's colours. It has also been used in some types of make-up, like lipstick, although it can also be toxic to humans. It also has been used for many years as an effective algaecide in farm ponds and in aquaculture operations. Copper carbonate was the first compound to be broken down into several separate elements (copper, carbon, and oxygen). It was broken down in 1794 by the French chemist Joseph Louis Proust (1754-1826).When burnt, it turns into a black powder. It can be used to bronze plate a metallic surface by adding suphuric acid and heat it then passing a charge through it with the meal in the liquid. Copper in moist air slowly acquires a dull green coating because its top layer has oxidised with the air. Some architechts use this material on rooftops for the interesting colour. The green material is a 1:1 mole mixture of Cu(OH)2 and CuCO3:[1] : 2Cu(s) + H2O(g) + CO2 + O2 → Cu(OH)2 + CuCO3(s) Copper carbonate decomposes at high temperatures, giving off carbon dioxide and leaving copper(II) oxide: : CuCO3(s) → CuO(s) + CO2(g) Basic copper(II) carbonate occurs naturally as malachite (CuCO3.Cu(OH)2) and azurite (Cu3(CO3)2(OH)2). # ^ Masterson, W.

What is the Formula for Silver carbonate?
Silver = Ag+1 Carbonate = CO3-2 Formula is: Ag2(CO3)
What is the difference between copper and chloride and copper chloride?
Carbon Steel is much stronger metal.
What is the compound name for CuCl3?
Copper (III) chloride. Note that this is theoretical compound copper does have a +3 oxidation stae in some complexes but does not from compounds such as CuCl3. The only halides known are +1 oxdtn state:- CuCl, CuBr, CuI +2 oxdtn state : CuF2, CuCl2, CuBr2
What is the chemical name of Cu Co3?
copper (I) carbonate The carbonate ion has a -2 charge. Since the formula given is Cu2CO3, it indicates there are 2 Cu atoms required to fulfill the carbonate ion's needs. This means the Cu ion must be of the Cu+1 species.
Formula copper II carbonate?
Cu(HCO3)2 (numbers should be in subscript) Also called copper hdryogencarbonate valance -1
What is the number of atoms in copper carbonate?
The number of atoms in one formula unit of the more common type of copper carbonate, which has the formula CuCO3, is 5: 3 oxygen atoms and 1 each of copper and carbon.
Why does copper carbonate decompose to make copper 2 oxide not copper 1 oxide?
Because it is easier. The molecular formula of copper carbonate is CuCO3. When it decomposes it loses a CO2 molecule. If it became Copper 1 oxide(Cu2O then it would have to combine with another molecule(releasing O). Instead it becames copper2 oxide(CuO) because that is an easier transition.
What is the word equation for dehydration synthesis reaction of one triglyceride?
Im not sure which one it is, but its out of these four. 1. Copper oxide -> copper carbonate + carbon dioxide 2. Sodium carbonate -> sodium hydrogen carbonate + oxygen 3. Sodium hydrogen carbonate -> sodium carbonate + water + carbon dioxide 4. Calcium carbonate -> calcium + carbonate I hope this helps you, even a little bit. Haha, now i need to find the answer to this question!
How many atoms in copper carbonate?
Copper carbonate contain copper, carbon and oxygen.
What is the chemical formula of following hydrated salt with their water of crystallization. Copper sulphate sodium carbonate magnesium sulphate?
Sodium carbonate: Na2CO3.10H2OMagnesium sulfate: MgSO4.7H2OCopper (II) sulfate: CuSO4.xH2O, where x = 1-5
How do you make copper oxide from copper carbonate?
Carbonate Decomposition Aim: To investigate the decomposition of a carbonate. Equipment: · Copper Carbonate (CuCO3) · Limewater · Bunsen Burner · Matches · Test tubes · Clamp and stand · Hydrochloric Acid · Electronic Scales Method: 1. Weighed Copper Carbonate by taring empty test tube. 2. Placed some Copper Carbonate in a test tube fitted with gas delivery tube and stopper. 3. Clamped the test tube to the stand at a slight angle. 4. Half filled another test tube with limewater and placed the other end of gas delivery tube into it. 5. Using a small blue flame gently heated the carbonate. Observed what happened. 6. Removed gas tube from limewater before turning off the Bunsen burner. 7. Allowed to cool 8. Weighed the remaining Copper Carbonate. 9. Added approximately 5ml of Hydrochloric Acid to the solid residue (Copper Oxide) from the decomposition reaction. 10. Transferred a small amount of original Copper Carbonate to new test tube and added same amount of Hydrochloric Acid to that. Recorded observations. Results: Observations from Decomposition: The limewater turned milky. Observations from HCl & Copper Oxide: Small bubbles. Hardly a reaction. Observations from HCl & Copper Carbonate: Bubbles & fizzing. Small amount of heat generated. Turned milky green in colour. Reacted immeadiately. Conclusion: The limewater proved that Carbon Dioxide was produced as a result of thedecomposition reaction. The Copper Oxide test showed that theoretically there should be no reaction with HCl. Copper Carbonate, however, theoretically, should react. Evaluation: Overall, the experiment was a success except for the fact that the HCl shouldn'thave reacted with the Copper Oxide but did. This is probably due to the fact there was some Copper Carbonate still stuck to the side of the test tube and the HCl reacted with that.
What is the balanced equation of Copper carbonate producing copper oxide carbon dioxide?
CuCO3 ---> CuO + CO2
What is the word equation for magnesium carbonate?
Formula for magnesium hydrogen carbonate is Mg(HCO3)2.

How can you get copper sulphate from an impure sample?
1. Dissolve the copper carbonate/sulfate salts in water and filter it: the Copper Carbonate is insoluble so it will remain as the residue on the filter paper, and the copper sulfate is soluble so it will pass through the paper as the filtrate. 2. Heat the filtrate in an evaporating basin till the point of crystallization (crystals will form on a rod dipped into the mixture, at the point of crystallization). 3. Leave the filtrate to cool and crystals of pure Copper sulfate will form. Collect the crystals with a spatula and leave them on a sheet of filter paper to dry.
