Copper oxide reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce copper chloride and water.
So the basic equation that illustrates this reaction is:
CuO + HCl ......> CuCl2 + H2O
Now, we need to balance this equation:
the number of copper and oxygen moles are balanced.
For each of hydrogen and chlorine, we have one mole as a reactant and two moles as product.
Therefore, to balance this, we will add an extra mole of HCl in the reactants.
Based on this, the final balanced equation would be:
CuO + 2HCl ................> CuCl2 + H2O
if it is edible you can taste it if it taste bitter its a base and if it taste sour then it is a acid if it taste like nothing like water would it would be a neutral substance.you could also order a ph tester which is just a liquid that you drop in it.
