Question
On adding dilute hydrochloric acid to copper oxide powder, the solution formed is blue-green.
On the basis of the above reaction, what can you say about the nature of copper oxide?
Solution
The reaction between a metal oxide and hydrochloric acid is similar to the neutralisation reaction in which, after the reaction, a salt and water are formed. So, we can conclude that copper oxide is basic in nature.
