Sol . The balanced chemical reaction is : CuCO3 + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O + CO2 Millimol of CuCO3 = (0.5 × 1000)/123.5 = 4.048 ⇒ millimol of H2SO4 required = 4.048 ∵ millimol = Molarity × Volume (in mL) ⇒ Vol = 4.048/0.50 = 8.1 mL

Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to your problem.

The balanced chemical reaction is :
CuCO3 + H2SO4 → CuSO4 + H2O + CO2
Millimol of CuCO3 = (0.5 × 1000)/123.5
= 4.048
⇒ millimol of H2SO4 required
= 4.048
∵ millimol = Molarity × Volume (in mL)
⇒ Vol = 4.048/0.50
= 8.1 mL

Thanks and Regards
