Question
How can the black coating of copper oxide be removed chemically?

Answer

  • The black coating of copper oxide can be removed chemically by passing the hydrogen gas over heated copper oxide. As a result, the black coating turns brown in colour as oxygen is removed by hydrogen.
  • $\mathrm{CuO}+\mathrm{H}_2 \rightarrow \mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$
