A reddish brown colored metal is used in electrical wires when powdered and heated strongly in an open china dish, its color turns black. when hydrogen gas is passed over this black substance, it regains its original color


sakshijpa05: name the metal and black coloured substance.
sakshijpa05: write a balanced chemical equation for the both chemical reactions.
chinmaygurav2003: The element is copper and the substance is copper oxide
chinmaygurav2003: 2Cu+O2. ->cuO
chinmaygurav2003: CuO +H2-> Cu + H2O

A reddish Brown metal is Copper(Cu)

1⃣When Cu is passed through the open, it changes into CuO (black)

2Cu+O2=======> 2CuO

1⃣when hydrogen is passed through it, it regains Cu..


2CuO+H2======> 2Cu+H2O

hope it helps

The reddish brown metal is copper.

When heated in air

2Cu + O2 ⇒ 2Cuo

We get copper oxide which is black in colour.

When hydrogen gas is passed over copper oxide,

Cuo + H2 ⇒ Cu + H20

Cuo gets reduced to copper while hydrogen gas gets oxidised to water.


sakshijpa05: thank youu so much... @nlyati2204
