Copper oxide, CuO, reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCI, to produce copper chloride, CuCL2 and water

name the type of reaction taking place.

write a balanced symbol equation for the reaction

Explanation:

El óxido de cobre (II), también llamado antiguamente óxido cúprico ({\displaystyle {\ce {CuO}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO}}}), es el óxido de cobre con mayor número de oxidación. Como mineral se conoce como tenorita.

{\displaystyle {\ce {2Cu + O2 = 2CuO}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {2Cu + O2 = 2CuO}}}

Aquí, se forma junto con algo de óxido de cobre (I) como un producto lateral, por lo que es mejor prepararlo por calentamiento de nitrato de cobre (II), hidróxido de cobre (II) o carbonato de cobre (II):

{\displaystyle {\ce {2 Cu(NO3)2 = 2 CuO + 4 NO2+ O2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {2 Cu(NO3)2 = 2 CuO + 4 NO2+ O2}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {Cu(OH)2 (s) = CuO (s) + H2O (l)}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {Cu(OH)2 (s) = CuO (s) + H2O (l)}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuCO3 = CuO + CO2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuCO3 = CuO + CO2}}}

El óxido de cobre (II) es un óxido básico, así se disuelve en ácidos minerales tales como el ácido clorhídrico, el ácido sulfúrico o el ácido nítrico para dar las correspondientes sales de cobre (II):

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HCl =CuCl2 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + 2 HCl =CuCl2 + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2SO4 = CuSO4 + H2O}}}

Reacciona con álcali concentrado para formar las correspondientes sales cuprato.

{\displaystyle {\ce {3 XOH + CuO + H2O = X3[Cu(OH)6]}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {3 XOH + CuO + H2O = X3[Cu(OH)6]}}}

Puede reducirse a cobre metálico usando hidrógeno o monóxido de carbono:

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + H2 = Cu + H2O}}}

{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + CO = Cu + CO2}}}{\displaystyle {\ce {CuO + CO = Cu + CO2}}}

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
