The above equation represents the ion exchange reaction between ZnSO4 (Zinc Sulfate) and K2CO3 (Potassium Carbonate) to form K2SO4 (Potassium Sulfate) and ZnCO3 (Zinc Carbonate).
- Reaction conditions
This reaction occurs under normal conditions, without any special requirements for temperature or pressure.
- Reaction process
When the two substances ZnSO4 and K2CO3 come into contact with each other in solution, they will exchange ions to create two new products, K2SO4 and ZnCO3. Specifically, the K+ ion of K2CO3 will combine with the SO4– ion of ZnSO4 to form K2SO4, while the Zn++ ion of ZnSO4 will combine with the CO3– ion of K2CO3 to form ZnCO3.
- Phenomena occurring
When the reaction occurs, we can observe the phenomenon of precipitation. ZnCO3 will precipitate out as it is insoluble in water, while K2SO4 will remain in solution as it has a high solubility in water.
