Can we obtain zinc from zinc sulfate using carbon?

Best Answers

Yes, it is definitely possible. Zinc sulphate on strong heating is converted to the oxide. 2Zn(SO4)2 = 2ZnO + 2SO2 + O2 Now, zinc oxide can be reduced to the metal using carbon, as usually done in the metallurgy of zinc. read more

Describe how zinc metal can be obtained from zinc sulfate solution by electrolysis. A labelled diagram is acceptable. Include all the products of this electrolysis. The electrolysis is similar to that of copper (II) sulfate solution with inert electrodes. The answer key says that zinc would be formed at the cathode. read more

In this cell, the electrolyte is a mixture of zinc chloride and ammonium chloride, mixed with flour to become a paste. The electrolyte is enclosed in a zinc can, which becomes the negative electrode. A carbon rod is put into the centre of the can, and is fitted with a brass cap to become the positive electrode. read more
