Example:
Write chemical equation(s) for the reaction that can be used to prepare the following salts.
- Sodium Chloride
- Ammonium Nitrate
- Potassium sulphate
- Zinc Sulphate (3 equations)
- Lead(II) nitrate(3 equations)
- Copper sulphate(2 equations)
Answer:
a. Sodium Chloride
NaOH + HCl → NaCl + H2O
b. Ammonium Nitrate
NH3 + HNO3 → NH4NO3
c. Potassium sulphate
KOH + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + H2O
d. Zinc Sulphate (3 equations)
ZnO + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2O
Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2
ZnCO3 + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2O + CO2
e. Lead(II) nitrate(3 equations)
PbO + 2HNO3 → Pb(NO3)2 + H2O
Pb + 2HNO3 → Pb(NO3)2 + H2
PbCO3 + 2HNO3 → Pb(NO3)2 + H2O + CO2
f. Copper sulphate(2 equations)
CuO + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O
CuCO3 + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O + CO2
