Types of Copper Oxide II
Copper Oxide: It is also called cupric oxide (CuO), which exists in nature as a black or gray mineral called tenorite. It exists in black solid form, melting temperature higher than 1200 °C. Copper (II) oxide is insoluble mainly in solvents but can react with acids to form copper salts. Like cuprous oxide, copper (II) oxide can be manufactured by heating elemental (metallic) Copper but at lower temperatures. This production method generates an impure form of the oxide; however, there are alterna
