The classic salt-preparation practical adds copper(II) oxide a little at a time to warm dilute sulfuric acid until no more dissolves, filters off the excess black solid and evaporates the blue filtrate to grow copper sulfate crystals. It shows students how an insoluble base reacts with an acid to form a salt and water.
Heating copper(II) oxide with carbon, or in a stream of hydrogen or methane in a combustion tube, reduces it to pink-brown copper, a clear illustration of reduction and the reactivity series. In organic analysis the oxide is used to oxidise the carbon and hydrogen of a sample. Wear goggles, avoid breathing the dust and collect copper residues for proper disposal.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, sources Copper Oxide (II) for schools, colleges and testing laboratories and supplies it with its MSDS. Buyers setting up a salt-preparation practical can include the acid, filter papers and evaporating dishes on the same enquiry, and dealers and importers are supplied too.
