Answers
Iron and Copper are the two metals as per your question “Grey colored metal x is used in making dry cell. it is also used for coating iron metal to prevent it from rusting .when granules of x are added to blue solution of compound of a reddish brown metal y, the color of the solution gets discharged and metal y is formed. Identify x and y. write the chemical reaction and identify the type of reaction”.
Here in the question, Zinc is the Gray colored metal which is used in the processes like making dry cell and anti-rusting coating on iron.
Copper is the reddish brown metal that has a blue solution of its compound. The compound of copper that is mentioned in this question is Copper Sulfate.
The reaction that has been mentioned in this question is a displacement reaction.
Zn + CuSO4 --------> ZnSO4 + Cu
Answer:
1) x= zinc (zn)
y = copper ( cu)
2) zn + cuso4-------- znso4 + cu
3) displacement reaction
