The surface of copper gets tarnished by the formation of copper oxide. N_(2) gas was passed to prevent the oxide formation during heating of copper at 1250 K. However, the N_(2) gas contains 1 mole % of water vapour as impurity. The water vapour oxidises copper as per the reaction given below: 2Cu(s) + H_(2)O(g) rarr Cu_(2)O(s) + H_(2)(g) is the minimum partial pressure of H2 (in bar) needed to prevent the oxidation at 1250 K.
