Solution

Copper sulfate( $C u S O_{4}$ ) can be prepared from Copper carbonate $C u C O_{3}$ .
The reaction of Copper carbonate with Sulfuric acid results in the formation of Copper sulfate.
Carbon dioxide and water is also obtained as a byproduct in this reaction.
The chemical equation for this reaction is,
$C u C O_{3} + \underset{S u l f u r i c a c i d}{H_{2} S O_{4}} \to C u S O_{4} + H_{2} O + \underset{C a r b o n d i o x i d e}{C O_{2}}$
