Applications and Experiments for Copper Oxide Black
The oxide can show a metal oxide reacting with dilute acid to form a copper salt and water, support discussion of copper’s oxidation and reduction, and serve organic qualitative analysis for carbon and hydrogen. Weigh it with a porcelain Spoon-Spatula, avoid raising dust, and do not heat uncontrolled quantities.
- NCERT Class 10 science, Chapter 1: black copper oxide formed on heating copper, and its reduction, as redox examples.
- NCERT Class 10 science, Chapter 2: copper oxide with dilute hydrochloric acid in Test Tubes.
- Class 11 chemistry: detecting carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds by heating with copper(II) oxide.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: oxidation-state and metal-oxide comparisons.
Standard Scope of Supply
Supply is one pack of Copper Oxide Black with a batch label, the Safety Data Sheet, shelf-life detail and transport documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Grade and pack size appear on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotes can be raised for one pack for a single classroom or for a larger chemistry stock order, and each one shows packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Copper salts, acids and glassware for the same practical can be quoted with it.
Science Lab Supplies is registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. If your syllabus names a particular grade, say so on the contact page; otherwise build the copper-chemistry list in the enquiry cart, or see the lab tender page for formal bids.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Copper Oxide Black the same as copper(I) oxide?
No. Copper Oxide Black is copper(II) oxide, CuO. Copper(I) oxide is a different compound with the formula Cu2O, so check the label and formula before use in any practical.
Is it safe for school chemistry labs?
It is suitable for supervised school and college practicals with standard SDS-based handling. Avoid inhaling dust, eye contact, ingestion, uncontrolled heating and release to the environment.
Who supplies the Copper Oxide Black?
Science Lab Supplies quotes and ships this oxide from Ambala, India, with a batch label and Safety Data Sheet, and it can be added to a wider chemistry order.
What grade is supplied?
The grade, assay and particle form are confirmed on the quotation and batch label for each order. Tell us the grade your syllabus or method needs when you request a quote.
