Q1)For detection of hydrogen and carbon in compounds why do we take Cuo three times the weight of the organic compound?

A small quantity of pure and dry compound is mixed with about ten times its weight of

copper oxide(CuO). The mixture is taken in a hard glass test tube fitted with a delivery tube

having a small bulb. The other end of the tube is immersed in freshly prepared lime water. In

the bulb of delivery tube, a small amount of anhydrous copper suphate is placed. The mixture

of qualitative analysis heated strongly when carbon and hydrogen present are oxidised to

carbon dioxide and water respectively.

C+2CuO -> CO2 + Cu

2H + CuO -> H2O +Cu

Hope this clears your query. [1]
