Study the following conversion schemes:For each of the conversion in the scheme given below, state briefly in words or by means of chemical equation, how the conversion is carried out ?

Answer»

[A] Copper (II) oxide, when heated with coke powder is reduced to metallic copper.

CuO + C → Cu(Metallic copper) + CO

[B] Copper (II) oxide is dissolved in dilute sulphuric acid to form copper sulphate.

CuO + H2SO4 → CuSO4(Copper sulphate)  + H2O

[C] Copper sulphate is dissolved in water and hydrogen suiphide gas is passed, a black precipitate of copper suiphide is formed.

CuSO4 + H2→ CuS(Black ppt.)  + H2SO4

[D] Copper (II) oxide is dissolved in dilute hydrochloric acid to form copper chloride. To the solution of copper chloride, when a saturated solution of sodium carbonate is added, a light blue precipitate of copper (II) carbonate is formed.

CuCl2 + Na2CO3  CuCO3 + 2NaCl
