COPPER REACTIONS
Cu → Cu(N03)2 → Cu(OH)2 → CuO → CuSO4 → Cu

PART A: OXIDATION OF COPPER
Equation A
Cu(s) + 4HNO3(aq) → Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NO2(g) + 2H2O(1)
Copper metal is oxidized by the nitric acid. It produces a blue solution containing cupric nitrate, Cu(NO3)2(aq)
Plus it also produces nitrogen dioxide: poisonous gas

PART B: DOUBLE REPLACEMENT REACTION- PRECIPITATION REACTION
Eq. B
Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) → Cu(OH)2(s) + 2NaNO3(aq)
Produces a blue precipitate of copper (II) hydroxide

PART B- CONTINUEDACID BASE (NEUTRALIZATION REACTION)
Eq. B2 NaOH(aq) + HNO3(aq) → NaNO3(aq) + H2O(1)
An acid-base neutralization reaction also occurs in Part B between sodium hydroxide, NaOH, and the excess nitric acid, HNO3, from Part A

PART C: DECOMPOSITION REACTION
Eq. C Cu(OH)2(s) → CuO(s) + H20(l)
The blue copper (II) hydroxide solid, Cu(OH)2, is decomposed upon heating into the black copper (II) oxide solid, CuO

PART D: FORMATION OF COPPER (II) SULFATE
Eq. D CuO(s) + H2SO4(aq) → CuSO4(aq) + H2O(g)
The sulfuric acid, H2SO4, dissolves the copper (II) oxide, CuO, to produce a blue copper (II) sulfate solution, CuSO4, (cupric sulfate) and water

PART E: SINGLE REPLACEMENT (REDOX REACTION)
Eq. E Mg(s) + CuSO4(aq) → MgSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
This shows the replacement of a less active metal (copper) by a more active metal (magnesium).
The magnesium, Mg, replaces the copper in copper (II) sulfate, CuSO4, forming magnesium sulfate, MgSO4, and solid copper, Cu.
