Question
You are provided with the following chemicals:
NaOH, Na2CO3, H2O, Zn(OH)2, CO2, HCI, Fe, H2SO4, CI2, Zn.
Using the suitable chemicals from the given list only, state briefly how you would prepare sodium sulphate.
Solution
Sodium sulphate can be prepared by neutralising NaOH with H2SO4.
\[\ce{2NaOH + H2SO4 -> \underset{sulphate}{\underset{Sodium}{Na2SO4}} + 2H2O}\]
