When copper metal reacts with oxygen it forms the black copper oxide.
This is an oxidation reaction. “Oxidation refers to addition of oxygen or removal of hydrogen in a substance”. The reaction when copper reacts with oxygen is               2Cu + O2   2CuO
If hydrogen gas is passed over black copper oxide, copper oxide reacts with hydrogen gas to form the copper metal and water.
              CuO   +   H2      Cu   +   H2O
