Solution
(i) Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to evolve hydrogen.
\[\ce{Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2 ^}\]
(ii) Sodium sulphite reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to give sulphur dioxide.
\[\ce{Na2SO3 + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + H2O + SO2 ^}\]
(iii) Sodium carbonate reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to give carbon dioxide.
\[\ce{Na2CO3 + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + H2O + CO2 ^}\]
(iv) Zinc reacts with dilute sulphuric acid to form zinc sulphate, which in reaction with sodium carbonate forms zinc carbonate.
\[\ce{ Zn + H2SO4 → ZnSO4 + H2 ^}\]
\[\ce{ZnSO4 + Na2CO3 → ZnCO3 + Na2SO4}\]
