Question

Cu+kOH -----> ? Will the reaction take place if yes then why? Bcz i m not able to understand that cu(copper) is less reactive than k(potasium) then why will this reaction take place? I NEED A GREAT EXPLANATION GUYS......

Answer 1

Cu(copper) is less reactive than K(potassium) -- can only be used if one element is reacted with the salt solution of another.

so, Cu + K SO cannot be possible because K SO is salt solution of K.

² ⁴ ² ⁴

but, Cu + KOH ------> Cu(OH) + K

²

KOH is not salt solution of potassium so this equation can be possible.

I hope It helps :-)

Answer 2

In KOH, it is less stable than copper hydroxide because of incompareabpe size thus according to equilibrium , haar element ko stability chiye
