Silica will react in a similar way with metal sulphates (and Phosphates) as it does with carbonates, giving a solid residue and a gas. 1 mole of silica reacts with 1 mole of sodium sulphate, Na2SO4. Write the equation:
A
SiO2(s)+Na2SO4(s)→Na2SiO3(s)+SO3(g)

Solution
The correct option is ASiO2(s)+Na2SO4(s)→Na2SiO3(s)+SO3(g) The balanced equation is as follows: SiO2(s)+Na2SO4(s)→Na2SiO3(s)+SO3(g)
