Question
When copper powder is heated strongly in air, it forms copper oxide. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Name:
  1. Substance oxidised, and
  2. Substance reduced.
✓

Answer

Balanced chemical reaction is as follows:

$2\text{Cu}\ +\ \text{O}_2 \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }2\text{CuO}$

  1. He substance oxidised is copper.
  2. The substance reduced is oxygen.
