Solution

Explanation:
On the reaction of Sulfuric acid $(H_{2} S O_{4})$ with Copper oxide $(C u O)$ , a salt of Copper sulfate $(C u S O_{4})$ is formed.
The chemical reaction is as follows.
$\underset{Sulfuric acid}{H_{2} {SO}_{4} (l)} + \underset{Copper oxide}{CuO (s)} \to \underset{Copper sulfate}{{CuSO}_{4} (s)} + \underset{Water}{H_{2} O (l)}$

Hence, the salt “S” is the Copper sulfate $({CuSO}_{4})$ .

State the inference drawn from the following observation:Salt S is prepared by reacting dilute Sulphuric acid with Copper oxide. Identify S.

Explanation:On the reaction of Sulfuric acid (H2SO4)with Copper oxide (CuO), a salt of Copper sulfate (CuSO4) is formed. The chemical reaction is as follows. H2SO4(l)Sulfuricacid+CuO(s)Copperoxide→CuSO4(s)Coppersulfate+H2O(l)Water Hence, the salt “S” is the Copper sulfate (CuSO4).
