Question

A strip of wire is placed in a beaker containing zinc sulphate solution

Answer 1

not specified which wire it is, which material.

But considering that mostly all the wires should be of copper, we take strip of wire to be made of copper.

when the stripe of wire made of copper (Cu) is placed in a beaker of Zinc Sulphate solution ( ZnSO4), no reaction will take place as Zinc is more reactive than Copper since it lies well above Copper in the Reactivity Series.

Cu + ZnSO4 -----------------No reaction
