A student wishes to prepare a pure, dry sample of zinc sulfate crystals, ZnSO4⋅7H2O\text{ZnSO}_4 \cdot 7\text{H}_2\text{O}ZnSO4⋅7H2O, starting from solid zinc carbonate.
Describe a detailed experimental method the student should use to prepare these pure, dry crystals of zinc sulfate from zinc carbonate and an appropriate dilute acid.
Identify two other zinc-containing substances that could each be reacted with a dilute acid to produce zinc sulfate.
Do not refer to zinc carbonate in your answer.
