ZINC SULFATE

Zinc sulfate is the inorganic compound with the formula ZnSO4 as well as any of three hydrates. It was historically known as "White Vitriol". It is a colorless solid that is a common source of soluble zinc ions. Zinc Sulfate is produced when treated with aqueous sulfuric acid (Zn + H2SO4 + 7 H2O → ZnSO4(H2O)7 + H2). Pharmaceutical grade zinc sulfate is produced from high purity zinc oxide (ZnO + H2SO4 + 6 H2O → ZnSO4(H2O)7). In the laboratory, it can also be prepared by adding solid zinc to a copper sulfate solution (Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu)... Some external uses for zinc sulfate is astringent in lotions and eye drops. There are over 100 cases every year speaking of sickness due to either too high or too low levels of zinc in peoples bodies, zinc sulfate help's lift low zinc levels. The structure of zinc sulfate is as follows, sulfur is located in the middle with a oxygen on each sides(4) two of the oxygen's have double bonds and the other 2 have single bonds, the 2 single bonds are..
