CuCO3 + FeSO4 ==> FeCO3 + CuSO4
To balance the chemical equation, CuCO3 + FeSO4 → ? we need to determine the products of the reaction.
Let's start by writing the chemical formulas for the reactants:
- CuCO3 represents copper(II) carbonate.
- FeSO4 represents iron(II) sulfate.
Now, to determine the products, we need to identify if a chemical reaction takes place between these compounds. By looking at the reactants, we notice that copper is displacing iron in the iron(II) sulfate compound. This suggests a single displacement reaction is occurring.
The balanced equation, accounting for the conservation of mass, is:
CuCO3 + FeSO4 → CuSO4 + FeCO3.
Thus, the products of the reaction are copper(II) sulfate (CuSO4) and iron(II) carbonate (FeCO3).
