Question

The student's lab manual says to mix some of his Na2CO3 solution with an aqueous solution of copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4)

Write a balanced chemical equation to show the reaction. Use state symbols.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When the student mixed the solution sodium carbonate with solution of copper(II) sulfate ; Copper Hydroxocarbonate , sodium sulfate and carbon dioxide gas was obtained as a products.

The balanced chemical reaction

`2Na_2CO_3+2CuSO_4\rightarrow Cu_2(OH)_2CO_3+2Na_2SO_4+CO_2`

Where:

`Cu_2(OH)_2CO_3` = Copper(II) Hydroxocarbonate

`Na_2CO_3` = Sodium carbonate

`CuSO_4` = Copper(II) sulfate

`Na_2SO_4` = Sodium sulfate

`CO_2` = Carbon-dioxide
