What is the name of the compound with the formula Cu2SO3?
The compound with the formula Cu2SO3 is called copper(I) sulfite. It is composed of copper ions with a +1 charge and sulfite ions with a -2 charge, resulting in the formula Cu2SO3.
What is the balanced equation of copper sulfite thermally decomposing into copper you oxide and sulfur dioxide?
The balanced equation for the thermal decomposition of copper(II) sulfite (CuSO3) into copper(I) oxide (Cu2O) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) is: 2CuSO3(s) → Cu2O(s) + SO2(g) + O2(g)
If copperI sulfide is partially roasted in air reaction with O copperI sulfite is first formed Subsequently upon heating the copper sulfite thermally decomposes to copperI oxide and sulf?
Oh, isn't that just a delightful chemical reaction we have here! When copperI sulfide is partially roasted in the presence of air, it forms copperI sulfite. Then, with a bit more heat, the copper sulfite breaks down into copperI oxide and sulfur. Just like painting a happy little tree, each step in the reaction brings us closer to a beautiful final result.
