Question
When copper(II) oxide is heated in the presence ofhydrogen gas, elemental copper and water are produced.What mass of copper can be obtained if 32.0 $\mathrm{g}$ ofcopper(II) oxide is used?
Step 1
The reaction of copper(II) oxide with hydrogen gas produces elemental copper and water. The balanced chemical equation is: \[CuO + H_2 \rightarrow Cu + H_2O\] Show more…

A 1.000 g mixture of copper (I) oxide and copper (II) oxide was reduced quantitatively by hydrogen gas to give 0.8390 grams of metallic copper. What is the mass of the copper (I) oxide in the original 1.000 g sample?
When copper(II) oxide is heated in hydrogen gas, the following reaction takes place. $$ \mathrm{CuO}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{Cu}(s)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g) $$ A copper rod coated with copper(II) oxide has a mass of $38.72 \mathrm{~g}$. The rod is heated and made to react with $5.67 \mathrm{~L}$ of hydrogen gas, whose density at the conditions of the experiment is $0.0519 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L}$. (a) How many grams of $\mathrm{CuO}$ were converted to Cu? (b) What is the mass of the copper after all the hydrogen is consumed? (Assume that $\mathrm{CuO}$ is converted only to Cu.)
