उत्तर
The corrosion of copper produces a green coating of basic copper carbonate on its surface.
Explanation:
When a copper object is exposed to moist air for a long time, it slowly reacts with oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapour. This oxidation process causes the shiny brown metal to corrode, producing a green layer on its surface commonly called a patina. This green substance is basic copper carbonate, which is a chemical mixture of copper hydroxide and copper carbonate [CuCO3 . Cu(OH)2].

No chemical reaction takes place when granules of a rusty-brown solid A are mixed with the powder of another solid B. However, when the mixture is heated, a reaction takes place between its components. One of the products C is a metal and settles down in the molten state while the other product D floats over it. It was observed that the reaction is highly exothermic.
