Solution A is...

Question

Solution A is a sodium hydroxide solution. Solution B is a weak acid. C is dilute sulphuric acid. Which solution will
(i) liberate sulphur dioxide from sodium sulphite,
(ii) give a white precipitate with zinc sulphate solution,
(iii) contain solute molecules and ions?

Solution

(i) Solution C liberates sulphur dioxide from sodium sulphite. Sodium sulphite on reaction with dilute sulphuric acid produces sodium sulphate salt and liberates sulphur dioxide gas.
Na₂SO₃ + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂O + SO₂

(ii) Solution A gives a white precipitate with zinc sulphate solution. Sodium hydroxide reacts with zinc sulphate to form a white precipitate of zinc hydroxide.
ZnSO₄ + 2NaOH → Zn(OH)₂ + Na₂SO₄

(iii) Solution B contains both solute and water molecules because a weak acid ionises partially.
