When copper metal is exposed to the atmosphere over a long period of time, it takes on a green patina (a coating of copper compounds). The green color of copper roofs and the Statue of Liberty are examples. Initially the copper metal reacts with oxygen gas. The product of this reaction reacts in part with water vapor and in part with carbon dioxide in the air. Predict the products and write balanced equations for the three reactions.
