Which equation is correct The aim of this experiment is to prove whether Copper carbonate decomposes into copper 2 oxide or copper oxide when heated. The equations which include these oxides are: 2CuCO3(s) Cu2O(s) 2CO2 1/2O2(g) 2CuO3(s) CuO(s) CO2(g) To work out which equation is correct I will use mole calculations to work out the amount of gas produced and then I will carry out the experiment and measure the amount of gas given off then compare the results. If the amount of gas collected is similar to the amount of gas calculated in either equation, I will know the equation is correct. In the experiment I will ensure a fair test by keeping the following points constant when repeating the experiment * The amount of CuCO3 used * The position of the flame to the boiling tube and the position of the air hole cover on the Bunsen burner. I will weigh the...
