Which Equation Is Correct? Copper has two oxides When Copper decomposes with heat two possible oxides are formed. Equation 1 2CuCO (s) Cu O(g) + O (g) Equation 2 CuCO (s) CuO(s) + CO (g) From the equations above we can see that in both reactions gas is evolved and by collecting the gas produced we can accurately say which reaction is taking place. To find which equation is correct we can use ideas about the mole and the volume one mole of gas occupies at standard conditions. In the test it is very important to ensure a fair test and to do this certain things must be kept the same. Temperature, of the collected gas should be kept at room temperature care should be exercised when heating the sample of carbonate that the apparatus containg the gas evolved is not also heated. It may also be a good idea to let the gas evolved cool down for...
