Write the equations for the laboratory preparation of the following salts, using sulphuric acid.
(i) Iron (II) sulphate from iron.
(ii) Copper sulphate from copper.
(iii) Lead sulphate from lead nitrate.
(iv) Sodium sulphate from sodium carbonate.
Given below are the balanced chemical equations for the preparation of:
(i) Iron (II) sulphate from iron:
Fe + H2SO4 → FeSO4 + H2
(ii) Copper sulphate from copper:
Cu + 2H2SO4 → CuSO4 + 2H2O + SO2
(iii) Lead sulphate from lead nitrate:
Pb(NO3)2 + H2SO4 → PbSO4↓ + 2HNO3
(iv) Sodium sulphate from sodium carbonate:
Na2CO3 + H2SO4 →Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2
