Last updated: 7/10/2022

The oxidation of copper(I) oxide, Cu, O(s), to copper(II) oxide, CuO(s), is an exothermic process. 2 Cu₂O(s) + O₂(g) →→→ 4 CuO(s) kJ mol Calculate the energy released as heat when 34.43 g Cu₂O(s) undergo oxidation at constant pressure. energy released: -70.3 Incorrect AH = -292.0 kJ
