Acids, Bases, Salts (10)Write a balanced equation for the preparation of each of the following salts:
- Copper sulphate from Copper carbonate.
- Zinc carbonate from Zinc sulphate.
Answer
(i) CuCO3 + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O +CO2
(ii) ZnSO4 + Na2CO3 → ZnCO3 + Na2 SO4
Or
ZnSO4 + (NH4)2CO3 → (NH4)2SO4 + ZnCO3
