Preparation
CopperI,oxide,may,be,produced,by,several,methods3,Most,straightforwardly,,it,arises,via,the,oxidation,of,copper,metal:
4,Cu,+,O2,→,2,Cu2O
Additives,such,as,water,and,acids,affect,the,rate,of,this,process,as,well,as,the,further,oxidation,to,copperII,oxides,It,is,also,produced,commercially,by,reduction,of,copperII,solutions,with,sulfur,dioxide,Aqueous,cuprous,chloride,solutions,react,with,base,to,give,the,same,material,In,all,cases,,the,color,is,highly,sensitive,to,the,procedural,details
