(a) Calcium sulphate from calcium carbonate: By decomposition of calcium carbonates by acids.

(b) Lead (II) oxide from lead: Lead oxide can be prepared from lead by Direct combination.

(c) Lead carbonate from lead nitrate: Lead carbonate is prepared from lead nitrate by precipitation (double decomposition) with Sodium carbonate.

(d) Sodium nitrate from sodium hydroxide: Sodium nitrate is prepared from sodium hydroxide by neutralizing it with nitric acid.

(e) Magnesium carbonate from Magnesium chloride: Magnesium carbonate from Magnesium chloride can be prepared by double decomposition with Sodium carbonate.

(f) Copper 

(II) sulphate from copper 

(II) oxide: Copper sulphate can be prepared from copper oxide by action with sulphuric acid
