What happens when you heat copper chloride?

Answer 1

Basically Heated Copper carbonate will turn 'Black"' as it forms CuO and will give off black(ish) smoke, the chemical solution for this is

• CuCO3 ----> CuO + CO2

So therefore heating copper Carbonate is a Chemical Change, because it is unable to be reversed.

Answer 2

It decomposes to form copper oxide and carbon dioxide. It is an endothermic reaction, which means it absorbs heat (as all decomposition reactions do).

This is the chemical equation of the reaction:

CuCO3 ----> CuO + CO2

Answer 3

I hate giving people the answers to their homework questions, because then they don't really learn anything, so I'll do this instead:

There is really only one possible thing that could reasonably happen. Since it's a homework question, it's a pretty good guess that that one thing is what in fact does happen. (The answer to homework questions of the form "What happens if ..." is almost never "Nothing.")

Now, if you've paid even the slightest degree of attention in class (or, heck, to the news), you'll realize that if you rearrange the atoms slightly in the reactants you can make two very common substances.

Even without having any real knowledge of chemistry, you should be able to guess what happens here.

*****************************

Other user = It creates Carbon Dioxide and Carbon. Good day to you Sir.

Answer 4

When you heat copper carbonate it reacts to form copper oxide and carbon dioxide gas. :)

Answer 5

Assuming that the temperature is high enough, copper metal and carbon dioxide gas would be formed.

Answer 6

When copper chloride is heated to 300C, chlorine separates from the copper forming chlorine gas.

Answer 7

it decomposes
