Write the balanced redox reaction for the formation of copper (I) oxide from molecular oxygen and solid copper.
a) balanced molecular reaction
b) how many grams of oxygen would you need to react with 5.00g of Cu(s)?
c) If you start with 5.00g Cu(s) what would the theoretical yield of copper (I) oxide?
d) If the reaction isn't very efficient and only has a 26% yield, how many grams of copper(I) oxide would actually be produced?
