The Attempt at a Solution



I got the first 3 answers. But I don't know what this is asking for. What is CuO. Where did that come from. Is \n't it supposed to be Cu(OH)2?

[itex]CuO + H_2O \rightarrow Cu(OH)_2[/itex]
It is just hydrated form, nothing to worry about.
 
I would put it as

Cu(OH)2 -> CuO + H2O

copper hydroxide easily decomposes, but copper oxide doesn't react with water.
