Which of the following will be formed when dilute hydrochloric acid is added to a beaker having copper oxide ?
A solution with blue - green colour is formed due to the formation of copper (II) chloride.
The correct answer is option 1 I.e. A solution with blue - green colour is formed due to the formation of copper (II) chloride.
When dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added to a beaker containing copper(II) oxide (CuO), the following reaction takes place:
