The color of the heated copper powder becomes black when air is passed over it because of its reaction with oxygen i.e. air.

When it reacts with oxygen it forms copper oxide which is black in color. If however, the metal is allowed to react with hydrogen, the black copper oxide will turn back to its red metallic color and also result in formation of water.

Yet again, if air is passed over copper, the metal will get oxidized again, forming black copper oxide.
