Question

In a chemical reaction iron not able to replace zinc from zinc sulphate . why?

Answer 1

hi friend,
I hope so u may be familiar with displacement reaction.
Iron is less reactive than zinc. So iron cannot replace zinc in zinc sulphate.

hope it helps.

Answer 2

In the reactivity series of metals Zn is above Fe.
That means Zn is more reactive than Fe.
Zn can take part in chemical reactions more vigorously than Fe.

Since Fe is less reactive it cannot displace Zn from its aqueous solution that is ZnSO4.

HOPE IT HELPS....... :-)
