Question

✨✨Name the products formed when copper nitrate is heated strongly?✨✨​

Answer 1

Answer:

When copper nitrate is heated it loses the water molecule and then when is further heated it decomposes to give reddish brown gas, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.

Answer 2

ANSWER:

When copper nitrate is heated strongly, it produces a copper Oxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxygen.

EXPLANATION:

• When copper nitrate $\left(\mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2}\right)$ is heated it loses its water molecules and on strong heating of about $170^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$, it produces Copper Oxide(Cu0),Nitrogen dioxide$\left(\mathrm{NO}_{2}\right)$ and Oxygen $\left(\mathrm{O}_{2}\right)$.
• Copper Oxide is an inorganic compound, and it is a black solid substance.
• Nitrogen Dioxide is a brownish gas with chlorine like odour is released during the strong heating of Copper nitrate.

The chemical reaction is given below:

$2 \mathrm{Cu}\left(\mathrm{NO}_{3}\right)_{2} \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{CuO}+4 \mathrm{No}_{2}+\mathrm{O}_{2}$
