The Carbon and Hydrogen present in the Organic compound is detected by heating the compound with Copper II oxide in a hard glass tube when carbon present in the compound is oxidized to CO2 which can be tested with lime Water and Hydrogen is converted to water which can be tested with anhydrous copper sulphate which turns blue. 

 C + CuO ------>  2Cu + CO2 

 2 H +CuO --------> Cu + H2

 CO2 +Ca (OH )2 -------> CaCO3 + H2

 5H2O + CuSO4 --------> CuSO4.5H2O
