Kupferoxidreduktion  "WTF?"

[douro20]

"Reduction of copper oxide"

That isn't exactly what's going on, though. Here, a competition reaction between iron and copper oxide is being used to reduce copper oxide to copper. The copper in the copper oxide is replaced with iron and the result is elemental copper. I don't remember exactly what happens in a competition reaction, though.
