You are provided with the following chemicals :
NaOH, Na2CO3,H2O,Zn(OH)2,CO2,HCI,Fe,H2,SO4,CI2,Zn.
Using the suitable chemicals from the given list only, state briefly how you would prepare :
(a) iron (III) chloride, (b) sodium sulphate,
(c) sodium zincate, (d) iron (II) sulphate,
(e) sodium chloride ?
(a) Iron (III) Chloride: Iron chloride is formed by direct combination of elements.
2Fe+3Cl2⟶2FeCI3
(b) Sodium sulphate: By neutralization of caustic soda with dilute sulphuric acid
2NaOH+H2SO4⟶Na2SO4+2H2O
(c) Sodium zincate: By the action of metals with alkali
Zn+2NaOH⟶Na2ZnO2+H2
(d) Iron (II) sulphate: Iron sulphate is prepared by the action of dilute acid on an active metal.
Fe+H2SO4⟶FeSO4+H2
(e) Sodium chloride: By the neutralization reaction of a strong acid with a strong base
NaOH+HCI⟶NaCI+H2O
