⢠Perform the Virtual Investigation: Decomposition of Malachite in Unit E, Section 1, Lesson 6.
⢠Use the information provided, and the data collected to respond to questions 3 to 7.
3. Malachite is a semi-precious stone commonly used in jewelry. When malachite is exposed to heat, it decomposes:
$Cu(OH)_2CuCO_3(s) \rightarrow 2CuO(s) + CO_2(g) + H_2O(g)$
Calculate the mass of copper(II) oxide that should form when 10.00 g of malachite is decomposed.
