Question

A large piece of zinc metal is placed in a copper (ii) sulfate, cuso4, solution. The blue solution become colorless as copper metals falls to the bottom of the container. The resulting solution contains zinc sulfate, znso4. Write balanced formula unit, total ionic, and net ionic equations for the reaction

Answer 1

Displacement reaction takes place:

Zn + CuSO₄ ---------> ZnSO₄ + Cu

Blue color is of CuSO₄ solution, on displacement it fades away.

Answer 2

Answer:

Displacement reaction takes place:

Zn + CuSO₄ ---------> ZnSO₄ + Cu

Blue color is of CuSO₄ solution, on displacement it fades away.
