Question

A strip of zinc metal is placed in copper sulphate solution. Chemical equation

Answer 1

CuSO4 solution has a blue colour while ZnSO4 solution is colourless. Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) -> Cu(s) + ZnSO4 (aq). When zinc and copper sulphate react in the aqueous state, a simple displacement reaction will take place in which the zinc will displace the copper from the copper sulphate to form zinc sulphate.

Answer 2

zn + CuSo4 then gives ZnSo4 + Cu
