I was just wondering what is made when Copper Oxide and Carbon are in a test tube with a Bunsen burner under it?? I've searched and I can't figure out what it makes:help:
CuO2 right? If there is a reaction, it should make Cu+ CO2. I think. This is in an aqueous solution? I think this is what it should look like: CuO2+ C --heat--> Cu+ CO2
Copper metal + Carbon dioxide. CuO2 +C ----> Cu + CO2 I don't think it needs to be in an aqueous solution.
(OMG, I haven't touch these stuff for years, so I might be wrong) Carbon is a more reactive cation than Copper when it comes to reacting with Oxgen (I totally forgot the rules for the chart, but I confirmed this with a friend.) So Carbon would displace Copper to form Carbon dioxide. 1) if it's Copper 2 2 CuO + C = CO2 + 2 CU 2) If it's Copper 1 2CU2O + C = C02 + 4 CU I hope that helps.. And I pray that I am right or else I would have given you the wrong info.
ROFL! That sounded so wrong! But anyways, I'm so bad at stuff like this! It makes no sense to me. I'm good with quantum mechanics though.....weird.
:roflmao: It was meant to... I like chemistry. It's just the math part of it I don't like. The chemical reaction stuff isn't too bad.
*stifles another giggle* Didn't you already try that... And fail? And look what you did to the nice lady's thread about copper oxide! You should be ashamed of yourself!
