Question

Type of reaction & why.
CuCO3 + H2SO4= CuSO4 + H2O + CO2

Answer 1

Redox, transfer of ions.

Answer 2

I believe that H2SO4 + CuCO3 is a neutralization reaction.

Specifically, it will be an acid-carbonate reaction which will result in the production of a salt, water, and carbon dioxide.

FYI this reaction produces CO2 gas as a side product.

H2SO4 (aq) + CuCO3 (s) --> CuSO4 (aq) + H20 (l) + CO2 (g)

CuSO4 (copper sulphate) is the salt produced.
