Question
When copper(II) oxide is boiled in an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid, a strikingly blue solution of copper(II) sulfate forms along with additional water. Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this reaction.
Step 1
First, we need to write the chemical formulas for each compound involved in the reaction: - Copper(II) oxide: CuO - Sulfuric acid: Hâ‚‚SOâ‚„ - Copper(II) sulfate: CuSOâ‚„ Show more…

Copper(II) sulfide is oxidized by molecular oxygen to produce gaseous sulfur trioxide and solid copper(II) oxide. The gaseous product then reacts with liquid water to produce liquid hydrogen sulfate as the only product. Write the two equations which represent these reactions.
Write the equation for the reaction described or for the most likely reaction between given reactants. Solid zinc and aqueous copper(II) sulfate are combined.
Nitric acid reacts with insoluble copper(II) oxide to form soluble copper(II) nitrate, $\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2},$ a compound that has been used to prevent the growth of algae in swimming pools. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction of an aqueous solution of HNO$_{3}$ with CuO.
