The following solutions were probided for the preparation of some insoluble salts:
Copper(II) sulphate solution
Lead(II)nitrate solution
Magnesium chloride solution
Sodiumcarbonate solution
a) i) Which TWO of the solutions should be used to prepare copper(II) carbonate?
ii) Write an ionic equation for this reaction.
iii) Describe how the student could preapre a pure, dry sample of copper
(II) carbonate from the two solutions suggested.
b) A student used lead(II) nitrate solution and one other solution from the list to preapare lead(II) sulphate.
i) Suggest the other solution used
ii) Write a chemical equation for the reaction involved
iii) Give ONE observable change of this reaction.
c) Another student planned to preapare magnesium sulphate by mixing magnesium chloride solution and(II) sulphate solution.
i) State ONE reason why the proposed method is inappropriate
ii) Suggest other possible method to prepare magnesium sulphate.
