Using Electrolosis remove the copper coating from a penny made after 1982 by connecting it to the anode for a while. Then clean the penny and place it in a high humidity area of your house with a small amount of water. The green stuff that grows on it will be sulfate of zinc.

∙ 11y agoIt is not possible to turn all of zinc sulfate into zinc, because that would require converting the sulfur and oxygen content of zinc sulfate into zinc, an operation that is chemically impossible. However, it is possible to separate zinc from zinc sulfate. The simplest way, at least to a former electrochemist, is to plate out the zinc from a zinc sulfate solution in water onto some relatively inert electrode such as platinum. In principle, any metal more active than zinc in the electrochemical series could be used to replace zinc in zinc sulfate by a spontaneous single displacement reaction, but to do this from a solution of zinc salts in water would be complicated by the likelihood that hydrogen gas from water would probably be displaced instead of zinc. (Elemental zinc itself can displace hydrogen from acidic water solutions.)

What is the insoluble base that can be mixed with sulfuric acid to make zinc sulfate?
Zinc
What is a chemical name for Zn HSO3 2?
Zinc Hydrogen Sulfate
What does sulfur and sulfur make?
Zinc Sulfide or ZnS. A white, to yellow colored powder that is phosphorescent in certain applications. It is also semi-conductive because of the Zinc.
Why is the following statement not an example of a transmutation Zinc reacts with copper sulfate to produce copper and zinc sulfate?
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
Is dissolving zinc in sulphuric acid is a chemical change?
Yes, the zinc reacts with th sulfuric acid to produce zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas.
What is the name of the compound ZnSO4 7H2O?
Zn= zinc SO4 = sulfate ZnSO4 = Zinc sulfate
What is zinc sulfate in chemistry?
Zinc sulfate is an ionic chemical compound.
What is the symbol zinc sulfate?
The chemical formula (not symbol) of zinc sulfate is ZnSO4.
What cant you mix zinc and cupric sulfate?
Because zinc displaces Copper to produce zinc sulfate and Copper
Why aluminium sulfate is added to zinc sulfate solution in zinc plating bath?
Transparent
Is zinc sulfate a reactant or a product?
It may be either a reactant or a product depending on what the reaction is. If you react elemental zinc with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen, then it is a product. If you react aqueous zinc sulfate with sodium hydroxide to form solid zinc hydroxide and sodium sulfate, then it is a reactant.
The chemical formula for zinc sulfate?
the chemical formula of zinc sulphate is ZnSO4.
Zinc plus sulphuric acid gives?
Zn + H2SO4 -> ZnSO4 + H2 Zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas.
How many atoms does zinc sulfate have?
One formula unit of zinc sulfate is ZnSO4. It contains 6 atoms.
Zinc carbonate sulfuric acid?
Zn + H2SO4 -> ZnSO4 + H2 Produces zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas.
Is zinc a product or reactant?
It may be either a reactant or a product depending on what the reaction is. If you react elemental zinc with sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen, then it is a product. If you react aqueous zinc sulfate with sodium hydroxide to form solid zinc hydroxide and sodium sulfate, then it is a reactant.
Is zinc sulfate available in liquid form?
I wouldn't say that it is "available" but it exists.Zinc sulfate is a crystaline compound and has a high melting point, meaning that it is very impracticle to keep as a liquid. But you can have zinc sulfate solution which is just zinc sulfate crystals dissolved in water.
