Question

Chemical equation for zinc reacting with ferrous sulfate

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

When zinc is added to the solution of iron sulphate, the colour of iron sulphate solution changes. It is because zinc is more reactive than iron, therefore, it displaces iron from its solution of iron sulphate and a grey precipitate of iron and a colourless solution of zinc sulphate is formed.

Zn + FeSO4 = ZnSO4 + Fe

Answer 2

Answer:

Zn + FeSO4 --> ZnSO4 + Fe

Explanation:

When zinc is added to a solution of iron sulphate, it displaces the iron to form a colorless solution of zinc sulphate since zinc is more reactive than iron.

Zn + FeSO4 --> ZnSO4 + Fe
