Copper metal doest "rust" in the presecence of oxygen at room temperature. However; it will react with O2 at elevated temperatures. Write a balanced chemical equation describing the formation of copper (II) oxide when copper metal is heated in air.

Heating the copper product at too high temperature in an oxygen atmosphere results in the formation of copper (II) oxide, cupric oxide, CuO. Write the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

when copper(I) sulfide is partially roasted in the air (reaction with O2), copper(I) sulfite is formed first. Subsequently, upon heating, the copper sulfite thermally decomposes to copper(I) oxide and sulfur dioxide. Write the balanced chemical equations for these two reactions.
