A strip of a metal X is immersed in the aqueous solution of salt YSO4 blue in colour. After sometime, a layer of the metal Y from the salt solution is deposited on the strip of the metal X. The metal X is used for galvanization whereas the metal Y is employed in making electric cables. a) Predict the metal X. b) What could be the metal Y? c) Name the metal salt YSO4. d) What is the nature of the chemical reaction taking place?
Answers
Answer:
The metal salt is copper sulphate and metal x is zinc .
Explanation:
The type is reaction is displacement reaction
Answer:
a) The metal X is Zinc.
b) The metal Y is Copper.
c) The metal salt YSO4 is CuSO4 (Copper Sulphate).
d) The chemical reaction between Zinc and Copper Sulphate is a Displacement reaction, as Zinc is more reactive than Copper Sulphate.
Explanation:
According to the question,
A strip of a metal X is immersed in the aqueous solution of salt YSO4, blue in colour. The metal X is used for galvanization, so it can be identified as Zinc (Zn).
The metal Y is used in electric cables, so it can be identified as Copper (Cu).
The chemical reaction between Zinc and CuSO4 (Copper Sulphate) is as follows:
CuSO4 (aq) + Zn (S) → ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu(s)
a) The metal X is Zinc.
b) The metal Y is Copper.
c) The metal salt YSO4 is CuSO4 (Copper Sulphate).
d) The chemical reaction between Zinc and Copper Sulphate is a Displacement reaction, as Zinc is more reactive than Copper Sulphate.
