Write the balanced equations for the preparation of the following compounds (as the major product) starting from iron and using only one other substance
Iron $(ll)$ sulfate

Solution

The metal iron on reaction with dilute Sulphuric acid will result in the formation of Iron(ll) sulfate or Ferrous sulfate and hydrogen gas is liberated.
The chemical formula of Iron $(ll)$ sulfate is $F e S O_{4}$ .
The balanced chemical equation is,
$\underset{I r o n}{F e (s)} + \underset{S u l f u r i c a c i d}{H_{2} S O_{4} (a q)} \to \underset{I r o n (l l) s u l f a t e}{F e S O_{4} (a q)} + \underset{H y d r o g e n}{H_{2} (g)}$
The above reaction is an example of a displacement reaction in which the more reactive element iron displaces hydrogen from Sulphuric acid and Iron $(ll)$ sulfate is formed.
