Solution
Change of colour — In certain chemical reactions a change of colour is seen to be observed. Heat on substances to observe change in colour of reactants and products.
Heat on:
Copper carbonate CuCO3 → CuO + CO2[g]
Colour change:
Copper carbon [CuCO3] – Green – to Copper [III] oxide [CuO] – Black
