The compound Cu(OH)2(s) produces CuO(s) and H2O (g) when heated to high temperatures. This is a decomposition reaction. (a) What is an alternative classification of this reaction: Cu(OH)2(s)+ heat → CuO(s) + H2O(g) _______________________ (b) What reaction takes place when HCl(aq) is added to Cu(OH)2(s)? Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction and classify it.
