One way to make zinc carbonate is by reacting a soluble zinc salt (such as zinc sulfate or zinc chloride) with a carbonate salt (such as sodium carbonate or sodium bicarbonate) in a solution. The zinc carbonate will precipitate out of the solution as a solid, which can then be filtered and dried.
The chemical formula of zinc carbonate is ZnCO3.
The chemical equation for zinc carbonate is ZnCO3
Zinc hydroxide plus carbonic acid yields zinc carbonate plus water
zinc carbonate + sulphuric acid = zinc sulphate + water + carbon dioxide
The amount of zinc present in a carbonate compound can vary depending on the specific compound. However, zinc carbonate typically contains around 52.2% zinc by mass.
