What is observed when air is passed over heated copper powder?

When air is passed over heated copper powder, the copper powder will react with the oxygen in the air, leading to the formation of copper oxide. This reaction can result in a color change in the copper powder from its original metallic color to a reddish-brown color.


Does copper get heated when electric current is passed through?

yes it does


When hydrogen gas passed over heated cupric oxide?

When hydrogen gas passed over heated cupric oxide, the hydrogen is oxidized and displaces copper from the copper oxide as metallic copper, because hydrogen is higher than copper in the electromotive series. Water vapor is also produced by the reaction.


What observation can be seen in a combustion tube when hydrogen gas is passed over heated copper II oxide?

When hydrogen gas is passed over heated copper II oxide in a combustion tube, the copper II oxide will be reduced, resulting in the formation of copper metal and water. The color change from black (copper II oxide) to brown (copper metal) can be observed in the tube, along with the release of steam.


When air is passed through a heated tube containing finely divided copper the component that is absorbed in the process is?

When air is passed through a heated tube containing finely divided copper, oxygen from the air is absorbed by the copper. This reaction leads to the formation of copper oxide, as the copper reacts with the oxygen at elevated temperatures. The process effectively reduces the concentration of oxygen in the air passing through the tube.


What is observed when electric current is passed through copper sulphate?

When electric current is passed through copper sulfate solution, copper ions from the solution are attracted to the negative electrode (cathode) where they gain electrons and get reduced to form solid copper metal. At the same time, sulfate ions are attracted to the positive electrode (anode) and get oxidized to form oxygen gas. This results in the gradual deposition of copper metal on the cathode.


What will happen when sulphuric acid is passed on a copper plate?

When sulfuric acid is passed on a copper plate, it will react with the copper to form copper sulfate and hydrogen gas. The reaction will also cause the copper plate to dissolve and form a blue-green solution (copper sulfate).


What removes copper from gold?

One common method to remove copper from gold is through a process called cupellation, where the gold-copper alloy is heated in a furnace with lead, which combines with the copper to form a separate layer called "dore." Another method is through electrolysis, where an electric current is passed through the gold-copper alloy in a solution to separate the copper ions from the gold.

Why the water gets heated when current is passed through carbon rods in it?

The carbon rods have electrical resistance. Thisi causes them to heat when current is passed through them. The water gets heated by the carbon rods.
