    Copper sulphate is prepared by blowing a current of air through Cu scrap and dilute\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]. Dilute\[HN{{O}_{3}}\]is also added

    A)  which combines with\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]to give a very strong oxidising mixture and oxidises Cu to\[C{{u}^{2+}}\]

    B)  to oxidise Cu to\[C{{u}^{2+}}\]which then form\[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]with dilute\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]

    C)  to increase ionization of\[{{H}_{2}}S{{O}_{4}}\]to give\[SO_{4}^{2-}\]ions

    D)  to oxidize\[F{{e}^{2+}}\]to\[F{{e}^{3+}}\]sulphate, which remains in solution after crystallisation of\[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

     \[FeS{{O}_{4}}\xrightarrow[HN{{O}_{3}}]{\text{Dilute}}\underset{\text{remains in solution}}{\mathop{F{{e}_{2}}{{(S{{O}_{4}})}_{3}}}}\,\downarrow +CuS{{O}_{4}}\] crystallises out.
