heating the copper product at too high a temperature in an oxygen atmosphere results in the formation of copper(II) oxide or cupric Cuo write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Respuesta :

Answer:

Heating the copper atom with atmospheric oxygen results in the formation of copper oxide.

Explanation: Copper atom reacts with oxygen molecule, it forms a layer of brown color of copper oxide. This reaction between copper and oxygen is slow and only occurs when copper is heated. This layer protects the inner part of copper.

Equation of copper oxide

2Cu + O2-------- 2CuO
