Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) ⇒ Fe2+ (aq) + Cu(s)
However, in order to displace zinc, metal is more reactive than it is required e.g. K, Ca, etc.
Brief explanation:
- Similar to earthquakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, and other natural disasters, corrosion is a destructive process.
- The loss of the metal surface due to corrosion happens when metals are subjected to corrosive conditions. A metal gradually deteriorates due to corrosion, which is the outcome of environmental contact.
- Metals are recovered from their ores by reduction process in pure metallic condition/form during the metallurgy.
- Metals are thought of as being in unstable and exciting conditions. As a result, the removed metals frequently return to their original state as mixed ore.
- Corrosion is therefore regarded as metal extraction in reverse or smelting in reverse.
