Question

Word equation for Cu(s)+O2(g)=CuO(s)

Answer 1

Answer:

Copper solid plus oxygen gas giving solid cupric oxide

Explanation:

The given reaction is:

$Cu(s) +O2(g)\rightarrow CuO(s)$

The balanced equation is:

$2Cu(s) +O2(g)\rightarrow 2CuO(s)$

The formula name of the reactants and products are:

Cu (s) = copper in the solid phase

O2 (g) = oxygen in the gas phase

CuO (s) = copper (II) oxide or cupric oxide

The word equation would be:

Copper solid plus oxygen gas giving solid cupric oxide

Answer 2

Copper + Oxygen = Copper Oxide
