Show by calculation that the zinc carbonate is in excess. $\text{ZnCO}_3(s) + 2\text{HNO}_3(aq) \rightarrow \text{Zn(NO}_3)_2(aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O}(l) + \text{CO}_2(g)$ A 4.50 g sample of zinc carbonate is added to 50.0 cm$^3$ of 1.30 mol/dm$^3$ nitric acid.
After the reaction is complete, the mixture is filtered. State why the mixture is filtered.
Describe how to make pure, dry zinc nitrate crystals from an aqueous solution of zinc nitrate.
Lead chloride is an insoluble salt. It is made using a precipitation reaction. Name two aqueous solutions that react together to give a precipitate of lead chloride.
