Name the method used for the preparation of the given salt.
Zinc sulphate
Simple displacement
Correct answer is option c) Simple displacement
Definition of Simple displacement reaction
When an element displaces another element in a compound is called simple displacement reaction.
Explanation of incorrect answer
A) Double decomposition
It is a type of decomposition reaction in which products obtained by interchanging the ions of reactants.
For example
ZnSO4(aq)+ NaOH(aq) Zn(OH)2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq)
B) Direct synthesis
A reaction in which two or more simpler substances combine to form a compound is called direct synthesis
For example. Potassium and chlorine react to form potassium chloride
2K(s)+Cl2(g) 2KCl(s)
D) Neutralization
When an acid react with base, a salt and water is formed. This process is called neutralisation reaction
NaOH(aq) + HCl (aq) NaCl(s) + H2O(l)
Base Acid Salt water
E) Decomposition by acid
When a compound dissociates into simpler substance is called Decomposition reaction
H2O(l) H2 (g)+O2(g)
