The thermal decomposition of copper carbonate (Mr = 123.5) is shown in this equation:CuCO3(s) → CuO(s) + CO2(g)The desired product is copper oxide (Mr = 79.5) and the waste product is carbon dioxide (Mr = 44).What is the atom economy for this reaction?64%36%155%0.64%

Copper carbonate, CuCO3, undergoes thermal decomposition to produce copper oxide, CuO, and carbon dioxide, CO2.When 24.7 g of CuCO3 was heated to constant mass, 15.9 g of CuO was produced.Determine the balanced equation for the reaction.CuCO3 → CuO + CO2CuCO3 → 2CuO + 2CO2CuCO3 → CuO + 2CO23CuCO3 → CuO + CO2I DON'T KNOWSUBMIT ANSWER

Look at the equations for the two reactions:Reaction 1 CuCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CuCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)Reaction 2 CuO(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CuCl2(aq) + H2O(l)Reactive formula masses: CuO = 79.5; HCl = 36.5; CuCl2 = 134.5; H2O = 18The percentage atom economy for a reaction is calculated using:Calculate the percentage atom economy for Reaction 2.

Copper can also be produced by the reaction of carbon with copper(II) oxideaccording to the equation2CuO + C → 2Cu + CO 2Calculate the percentage atom economy for the production of copper by thisprocess.Give your answer to the appropriate number of significant figures.

Copper oxide is heated with carbon. Write out the word equation for this reaction.

The reaction that takes place when copper carbonate is heated is called a decomposition reaction. True or false?Responses
