Question

Explain what happens in the following situations and give word equations of the reactions. A copper strip is immersed in zinc sulphate solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

When a strip of zinc metal is placed in copper sulphate, then zinc sulphate solution and copper are obtained.

a) The balanced equation for the reaction that takes place is:

CuSO  

4

​

(aq)+Zn(s)→ZnSO  

4

​

(aq)+Cu(s)

Copper             Zinc           Zinc sulphate    Copper  

sulphate                              

b) The type of reaction involved is displacement reaction.
