Key Features
- Copper(II) oxide, also called cupric oxide, formula CuO
- Black colour makes dissolution and reaction progress easy to follow
- Basic oxide that reacts with suitable acids to form copper(II) salts and water
- Excess insoluble oxide can be filtered off during salt preparation
- Distinct from copper(I) oxide, Cu2O

About This Product
In salt preparation, the oxide is added to a dilute acid in the quantities and order the method states, the reaction is watched as the black solid reacts, and any excess is filtered off to leave a copper(II) salt solution. The mass is measured with a clean, dry spatula and transferred carefully to avoid dust, and residues go to the chemical-waste system.
