Question

Cupric oxide when heated to 1100-1200 degree Celsius gives $CuO\to A+O_2$

• A. $C{u}_{2}O$
• B. No Reaction possible
• C. $Cu$
• D. $C{u}_2{O}_3$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $C{u}_{2}O$

$4CuO\to 2C{u}_{2}O+O_2$ Cupric oxide when heated to 1100-1200 degree Celsius, decomposes to gives cuprous oxide and dioxygen.
