Question
Choosing only substances from the list given in the box below, write equations for the reactions which you would use in the laboratory to obtain:
(i) Sodium sulphate
(ii) Copper sulphate
(iii) Iron (II) sulphate
(iv) Zinc carbonate
Dilute sulphuric acidCopper, Iron,
Sodium, Zinc
Copper carbonate,
Sodium carbonate

Answer

(i) Preparation of Sodium Sulphate:Sodium
Carbonate + Dilute Sulphuric acid $\rightarrow$ Sodium Sulphate + Water + Carbon dioxide.
$
Na _2 CO _3+ H _2 SO _4 \longrightarrow Na _2 SO _4+ H _2 O + CO _2
$
(ii) Preparation of Copper Sulphate:
Copper Carbonate + dilute Sulphuric acid $\rightarrow$ Copper Sulphate + water + carbon dioxide.
$
CuCO _3+ H _2 SO _4 \longrightarrow CuSO _4+ H _2 O + CO _2
$
(iii) Preparation of iron (II) sulphate :
Iron + dilute Sulphuric acid $\rightarrow$ Iron (II) Sulphate + Hydrogen
$
Fe + H _2 SO _4 \longrightarrow FeSO _4+ H _2
$
(iv) Preparation of Zinc Carbonate:
$
Zn + H _2 SO _4(\text { dil }) \longrightarrow ZnSO _4+ H _2
$
$
ZnSO _4+ Na _2 CO _3 \longrightarrow ZnCO _3+ Na _2 SO _4
$
