An extremely hot copper wire reacts with steam to give:
Show Hint
- \( \text{CuO} \)
- \( \text{Cu}_2\text{O} \)
- \( \text{Cu}_2\text{O}_3 \)
- \( \text{Cu}_3 \)
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Reaction of copper with steam.
When copper reacts with steam at high temperatures, it forms \( \text{Cu}_2\text{O} \), which is copper(I) oxide.
Thus, the correct answer is (2).
Top Questions on Oxygen
- An organic compound contains 37.5% C, 12.5% H and the rest oxygen. What is the empirical formula of the compound?
- Which element is not present in Nessler's reagent?
- Delicate balance of \(CO_2\) and \(O_2\) is not disturbed by:
Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: Polluted water may have a value of BOD of the order of 17 ppm.
Reason R: BOD is a measure of oxygen required to oxidise both the bio-degradable and non-biodegradable organic material in water.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
C(s)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+400 kJ
C(s)+\(\frac{1}{2}\) O2(g)→CO(s)+100 kJ
When coal of purity 60% is allowed to burn in presence of insufficient oxygen, 60% of carbon is converted into ‘CO’ and the remaining is converted into ‘CO2’. The heat generated when 0.6 kg of coal is burnt is _______.
