Zinc Sulfate
Zinc sulfate is the inorganic compound with the formula ZnSO4 as well as any of three hydrates. It was historically known as "White Vitriol". It is a colorless solid that is a common source of soluble zinc ions. Zinc Sulfate is produced when treated with aqueous sulfuric acid (Zn + H2SO4 + 7 H2O → ZnSO4(H2O)7 + H2). Pharmaceutical grade zinc sulfate is produced from high purity zinc oxide (ZnO + H2SO4 + 6 H2O → ZnSO4(H2O)7). In the laboratory, it can also be prepared by adding solid zinc to a copper sulfate solution (Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu).
Zinc sulfate has many chemical characteristics, the formula being Zn2SO4, which is why zinc sulfate is in fact zinc sulfate. Molecular weight is 161.4716 amu (atomic mass units). The melting point is 100C(212F) and boiling point is greater than 500C(952F). It is a solid at room temperature, and is a ionic compound. It is a crystal on a molecular geometry level, and crystalline salt, its colorless, and odorless and very water soluble. It is used in a compound to create heptahydrate (ZnSO4-7H2O). Zinc sulfate is sometimes called “White Vitriol”.
Some external uses for zinc sulfate is astringent in lotions and eye drops. There are over 100 cases every year speaking of sickness due to either too high or too low levels of zinc in peoples bodies, zinc sulfate help’s lift low zinc levels. The structure of zinc sulfate is as follows, sulfur is located in the middle with a oxygen on each sides(4) two of the oxygen's have double bonds and the other 2 have single bonds, the 2 single bonds are negatively charged, and the two double bonds are positively charged, near the side Zn2+ is showing the presences of Zinc. (2)
The sulfate ion is a polyatomic anion with the empirical formula SO2−
4 and a molecular mass of 96.06 daltons, it consists of a central sulfur atom surrounded by four equivalent oxygen atoms in a tetrahedral arrangement. Sulfate is high soluble in water, although radium sulfate is the least solvent in water for a sulfate compound. some lead-acid batteries are made form sulfuric acid, while other are used to reduce bacteria such as anaerobic microorganisms. Some sulfate aerosols have been blamed to be a cause to global warming due to its greenhouse gas uniform. (7)
Zinc sulfate doesn't react to give zinc hydroxide and sulfuric acid. It dissolves in water, forming Zn2+ ions and sulfate ions, SO42-. However, SO42- is a weak base, and so it dissociates water forming HSO4-2 and OH-. Because HSO4- is the conjugate base of a strong acid, it is just a salt and does nothing further. However, because zinc hydroxide is soluble, no change is observed. When Zinc reacts with dil sulfuric acid, zinc dissolves in sulfuric acid with evolution of H2 gas to form ZnSO4 7H2O. The equation is as follows
Zn + H2SO4 ---> ZnSO4 7H2O + H2. (6)
Many people suffer from Zinc deficiency, they often use zinc sulfate to help. Everyone’s body requires zinc, it is a naturally occurring mineral for growing tissues in the body. People who take zinc sulfate stray away from food containing high amounts of calcium, phosphorus, which can block the absorption of mineral according to most studies. Zinc sulfate also caries abilities to remove blemishes cause by acne although we have not found a correlation proving why, and how it affects the body as acne treatment. Zinc can improve immune system by helping wound heals faster, as well as symptoms of sickle cell anemia may be managed by better through zinc sulfate supplements since many sickle cell anemia patience's have zinc deficiencies. Because no other mineral or medicines can help the way zinc does, it is vital to life as most elements in nature are, without zinc animals and most plants would die off. (5)
Zinc sulfate is a powder used for many different jobs, from killing moss to helping sick animals and even used as a antiseptic in some cases. It is found variously in water since it is water soluble. Zinc sulfate is a important compound to life on earth and well being other every other living and non living thing on earth.
Zinc(s) + Copper (II) sulfate(aq) ➝ Zinc Sulfate(aq) + Copper(s)
That is a Single replacement equation with copper being a precipitate and Zinc Sulfate being aqueous.
Materials:
Zinc
Copper Sulfate
Beaker
Test tube
Procedure:
1. Identify all the supplies and chemicals.
2. Grab and Pour your Copper Sulfate into the test tube.
3. After weigh the a beaker that is empty and after pour 1/3 of a spoon full of Zinc into the beaker and weigh again.
4. Then pour the Zinc into the Copper Sulfate
5. Watch as the Copper is replaced by Zinc creating a Liquid (Zinc sulfate) and a Solid (Copper).
The Single replacement happens because zinc is more reactive than copper, therefore pushing the copper out of the reactant and creating the product Zinc sulfate. The reaction is so extreme that is can cause large amounts of bubbles. The reaction between copper sulfate, CuSO4(aq), and zinc, Zn(s) is an oxidation-reduction reaction in which zinc reduces the copper. The product is copper! A good analogy would be, suppose Mr. Copper was living in a house "married" to Ms. Sulfate. One day, there was a knock on the door, and Mr. Zinc stood there, much taller and stronger than Mr. Copper. He threw Mr. Copper out into the cold, and moved in and "married" Ms. Sulfate. This shows you if a element is more reactive than the element attached to form the compound that it will get replaced.
Conclusion: As the Zinc with a high charge causing the Sulfate to pull away from the Copper cause Copper to be alone and Zinc to pull Sulfate to Form Zinc Sulfate that is aqueous. The reaction was a very simple single reaction, with the only view of a chemical reaction was the black specks of Copper was the bottom of the blue solution. This may have also looked like the zinc just changed colors but the znc push the copper out of the balanced reaction with Sulfate causing the copper to fall to the bottom of the now Zinc Sulfate solution.
There are source’s of error in most labs, as there was mine. The reaction did not have a known factor of whether or not contamination occured to favor my reaction more or less, such as excess gases that were present in the air at that time.
