Observation (a) From 50 ml gaseous ammonia, 100 ml colorless gas is formed mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, (b) By leading the gas mixture over heated black copper oxide, red-brown shiny copper is formed condensation of water is observed, approximately 25 ml of gas remains. This gas immediately extinguishes the flames of the burning wood splint nitrogen.

For example the oxidation of cuprocyanide complexes (Cu(CN) " , = 2, 3, 4) results in the formation of copper oxides (red and black) at values of pH > 12. At lower pH (7-11) the formation of azulmin (HCN polymer) occurs along with cyanate. At pH of 5-7 the oxalate ammonium ions and white oximide can be produced. The current efficiencies for direct oxidation of several metal cyanides, e.g. Cu(I), Cd(II) and Zn(II) are low. 

Copper oxide powder, prepared by grinding copper oxide (wire form), is heated to dull redness in a porcelain basin, allowed to cool partially in the air and finally in a desiccator. 

When present as a minor constituent, iron oxides typically impart a tan to brown color to the overall deposit. When iron oxides are present as a major constituent, the color is red-brown to black. Where iron oxides are found, copper oxides usually are also present (typically at 10-15% of the amount of iron oxide concentration). 

A.4 Identify all the chemical properties and changes in the following statement Copper is a red-brown element obtained from copper sulfide ores by heating them in air, which forms copper oxide. Heating the copper oxide with carbon produces impure copper, which is purified by electrolysis. ... 

Red phosphorus reacts vigorously on heating with copper oxide or manganese dioxide and on grinding with lead oxide, mercury oxide or silver oxide, ignition may occur. Red phosphorus ignites in contact with lead peroxide, potassium peroxide or sodium peroxide, while white phosphorus explodes, and also in contact with molten chromium trioxide at 200°C. 

The precipitation of copper oxides in slightly alkaline solution should not be confused with the formation of the bright red crystals of the organocuprous complex. 

In an oxygen-rich flame, and at temperatures above 1200 C, CuCl is unstable and will react to form CuO and CuOH. CuOH emits in the 525-555 nanometer region (green ) and substantial emission may overpower any blue effect that is also present. Copper oxide, CuO, emits a series of bands in the red region, and this reddish emission is often seen at the top of blue flames, where sufficient oxygen from the atmosphere is present to convert CuCl to CuO [111.
