Manganese sulfate purification idea
Looking through the Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments, I found an experiment which involves heating manganese dioxide along with sodium
bisulfate to produce manganese sulfate and sodium sulfate. This, of course, would be extremely contaminated with sodium, so I was thinking of ways to
separate them.
I found another experiment which involved reacting the MnSO<sub>4</sub> with sodium carbonate to precipitate manganese carbonate. I was
wondering if I could filter this carbonate and then react it with sulfuric acid:
MnCO<sub>3</sub> + H<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub> --> MnSO<sub>4</sub> + CO<sub>2</sub> +
H<sub>2</sub>O
Would this reaction work? It seems to me that it would, but I just want to confirm before I start experimenting.

Excessive exposure of the carbonate to air may cause it to oxidize.
