Answer:
Here's what I get
Explanation:
1. Nickel sulfate
base + acid ⟶ salt + water
NiSO₄ is a salt of the base Ni(OH)₂ and the acid sulfuric acid.
Hydroxides of transition metals are insoluble; most sulfates are soluble.
[tex]\underbrace{\hbox{Ni(OH)$_{2}$(s)}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{NiSO$_{4}$(aq)}}_{\hbox{salt}} + \underbrace{\hbox{2H$_{2}$O(l)}}_{\hbox{water}}[/tex]
2. Carbonate + acid
Most carbonates are insoluble.
They react with acids to form carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which decomposes into water and carbon dioxide.
[tex]\rm NiCO_{3}(s) + H_{2}SO_{4}(aq) \longrightarrow \, NiSO_{4}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) + CO_{2}(g)[/tex]
