Sulfuric acid produces sulfates when it reacts with metals.
When sodium bicarbonate reacts with sulfuric acid, it produces sodium sulfate, carbon dioxide gas, and water.
Iron can be reacted with sulfuric acid to produce iron sulfate. Iron sulfate can also be produced by reacting iron with sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid.
Iron sulfate can be prepared by dissolving iron oxide or iron metal in sulfuric acid. The reaction produces iron sulfate and water. The solution can then be evaporated to obtain solid iron sulfate.
This is the sulfuric acid - H2SO4.
When an acid reacts with a metal it produces a salt and hydrogen gas.
Na2So4
Given the general equation:acid + metal ---> salt + waterSo, the only difference between a reaction with a metal and hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid is the salt formed, a chloride and a sulfate respectively.
Potassium sulfate can be made by reacting potassium chloride with sulfuric acid. The reaction produces potassium sulfate and hydrochloric acid as byproduct. The potassium sulfate can then be extracted and purified.
To prepare zinc sulfate salt from acid and metal, first dissolve zinc metal in sulfuric acid to produce zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas will bubble out of the solution, leaving behind zinc sulfate salt dissolved in water. Evaporate the water to obtain solid zinc sulfate salt.
metal hydrides
Sulfuric acid can form salts by reacting with metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides or metal carbonates. Some common salts produced from sulfuric acid include sulfates such as sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), copper sulfate (CuSO4) and zinc sulfate (ZnSO4).
Metals such as zinc, iron, and aluminum react with sulfuric acid to produce hydrogen gas along with the corresponding metal sulfate salt. The reaction involves the displacement of hydrogen from the acid by the metal.
