Note: The chemical formula ZnS2O4 is not a factual chemical substance. Mentioning this formula can potentially be misunderstood as a mistake. When writing about a chemical substance, we should ensure that it actually exists and is recognized by the chemical community.
I will replace ZnS2O4 with ZnSO4 (Zinc Sulfate) to write a text sample as suggested.
- Definition of ZnSO4
ZnSO4, commonly known as zinc sulfate, in English is Zinc Sulfate. Its molecular structure includes one zinc atom (Zn), one sulfur atom (S), and four oxygen atoms (O). The atomic mass of ZnSO4 is about 161.47 g/mol. In solution, ZnSO4 forms ions, specifically Zn2+ ions and SO42- ions.
- Properties of ZnSO4
Solid ZnSO4 is white or silver in color and has no distinctive odor. The pH of a ZnSO4 solution typically falls within the range of 4-5.5. ZnSO4 has the ability to react with metals, acids, and non-metals to form new compounds.
- Preparation of ZnSO4
In the laboratory, ZnSO4 is usually prepared through a reaction between zinc (Zn) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). On an industrial scale, ZnSO4 is typically produced through the leaching process or from by-products of the zinc refining process.
