Chemistry Coursework Aim: I am trying to find out whether the equation 2CuCO3 ? Cu2O + 2CO2 + 1/2O2 or the equation CuCO3 ? CuO + CO2 is correct for the decomposition of copper carbonate. Introduction: This is my background research, this information may help me when I am trying to see which equation is correct. I have used the book Chemistry 1 by OCR as my reference. Relative Atomic Mass: This is the mass of an atom of the element relative to the mass of an atom of carbon-12 which has a mass of exactly 12. Relative Molecular Mass: This is the mass of a molecule of a compound relative to an atom of carbon-12. Mole: This is the unit of an atom of substance. One mole of a substance is the mass that has the same number of particles (Molecules, Ions or Electrons) as there are atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12 Avagadro's Constant:...
