    This is in an experiment to create carbon dioxide, where you heat the copper carbonate which is originally green and then it turns black

    Thanks

    Because coper carbonate loses CO3
    And turns into copper oxide
    Losing CO2 means change in color as well because it has gained oxygen
    Since its oxidative state is being changed as well
    So the color change is due to this fact...
