Test for Hydrogen and Carbon

Carbon and hydrogen are detected by heating the compound with copper(II) oxide. Carbon present in the compound is oxidised to carbon dioxide (tested with lime-water, which develops turbidity) and hydrogen to water (tested with anhydrous copper sulphate, which turns blue).

\\\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{C}+2 \mathrm{CuO} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} 2 \mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{CO}_{2}} \\\\ {2 \mathrm{H}+\mathrm{CuO} \stackrel{\Delta}{\longrightarrow} \mathrm{Cu}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}} \\\\ {\mathrm{CO}_{2}+\mathrm{Ca}(\mathrm{OH})_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaCO}_{3} \downarrow+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}} \\\\ {5 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+\mathrm{CuSO}_{4} \longrightarrow \mathrm{CuSO}_{4} \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}}\end{array}
