Question

A strip of metal x is dipped in a blue colour salt solution yso4.after sometime, a layer of metal y from the salt solution is formed on the surface of metal strip x. Metal is used in galvanisation whereas metal y is used in making electric wires metal x and metal y together form an alloy z.A) what could metal x be?, b) what could metal y be?, c) Name the metal salt yso4,d) what type of chemical reacreaction takes place when x reactreacts with salt solution yso4? Write the equation of the chemical rreaction involved

Answer 1

Answer:

A) Metal X is zinc

B) Metal y is copper

C) The metal salt is Copper Sulphate(CuSO4)

D) When Zinc reacts with Copper sulphate solution, a displacement reaction takes place where zinc displaces copper from the solution as zinc is more reactive than copper

E) Reaction: Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) -----> ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)
