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

11th Nov 2008, 07:55 PM

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

BlueRose · 11th Nov 2008, 08:09 PM

Oh lord, it's been forever since chemistry. But, yeah, what Drizzt has looks reasonable to me.

11th Nov 2008, 08:20 PM

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.

Yeah, I think this is right. Copper is mainly Cu^2, I think. I was thinking it was Cu^4.

Wow......Drizzt, can you help me with my homework?

KatzInHatz · 11th Nov 2008, 10:03 PM

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.

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.

I should hurt you......

11th Nov 2008, 10:23 PM

*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!

Brett · 11th Nov 2008, 10:25 PM

You wanna take this to a PM? Huh?! huh?!
*gigglesnort*

11th Nov 2008, 10:27 PM

It's only proper, as we've ruined this thread. Sorry. 2Cu2O+ C= CO2+ 4Cu!

Brett · 11th Nov 2008, 10:30 PM

Yeah....sorry about that Miss.
CuO2 + Al ----> Cu + AlO2
Just another random Copper thinggy.
