Question

Complete the following equations:

${\mathrm{CuCO}}_3+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\to \mathrm{\_\_\_\_\_\_}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}+{\mathrm{CO}}_2$

Answer 1

1. When Cupric carbonate $\left({\mathrm{CuCO}}_3\right)$ reacts with Sulfuric acid $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\right)$, Copper(II) sulfate ${\mathrm{CuSO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)$ is formed along with water $\left({\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\right)$ and Carbon dioxide $\left({\mathrm{CO}}_2\right)$.
2. The chemical reaction is as follows

${\mathrm{CuCO}}_3\left(\mathrm{s}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)\to {\mathrm{CuSO}}_4\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)+{\mathrm{CO}}_2\uparrow$

Therefore, the complete equation is ${\mathrm{CuCO}}_3+{\mathrm{H}}_2{\mathrm{SO}}_4\to \underline{{\mathrm{CuSO}}_4}+{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}+{\mathrm{CO}}_2$.
