Solution

The correct answer is B) i and iii only.

Here's why:

i) Reacting the metal oxide with warm dilute aqueous sulfuric acid: This method is suitable for preparing both zinc sulfate and copper sulfate. When zinc oxide or copper oxide reacts with sulfuric acid, zinc sulfate or copper sulfate is formed respectively.

ii) Reacting the metal with dilute aqueous sulfuric acid: This method is not suitable for copper. Copper does not react with dilute sulfuric acid because it is less reactive than hydrogen. However, zinc can react with dilute sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate because it is more reactive than hydrogen.

iii) Reacting the metal carbonate with dilute aqueous sulfuric acid: This method is suitable for preparing both zinc sulfate and copper sulfate. When zinc carbonate or copper carbonate reacts with sulfuric acid, zinc sulfate or copper sulfate is formed respectively.
