Zinc carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula ZnCO3. It is an inorganic salt composed of zinc cations (Zn2+) and carbonate anions (CO3^2-). Zinc carbonate is typically found as a white crystalline solid or a fine powder. It is insoluble in water but slightly soluble in acids, meaning it can react with acids to form soluble zinc salts and release carbon dioxide gas. It can be prepared by reacting a soluble zinc salt with a carbonate salt or by precipitating zinc hydroxide with a carbonate.
