When copper carbonate is burnt it turns from a green colour to a black colour then it slowly spreads out.

the above description is also can be apply in most of the copper compound, so i think no need to add that to the page.CuCO3--burning-->CuO Superdvd 23:45, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not technically burning, it's thermal decomposition to Copper(II) oxide--Rossheth | Talk 19:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

At what temerature does copper carbonate decompose into copper oxide and carbon dioxide? I've found different answers all over the place. I am a lemon 02:54, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

After a bit more searching on a slow connection it seems that most websites say it's 200*C, although I've found everything from 175 to 300. 200*C, according to this article, is copper carbonate's melting point. Can anyone confirm this? I am a lemon 03:01, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I think the equation for the formation of Cu(OH)₂.CuCO₃ is missing an oxygen molecule in the reactants side. Leafy Sea Dragon 00:28, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
