Question

In terms of electronic concept, show that the chemical reaction taking place between Zinc and Copper Sulphate dissolved in water is a redox reaction.

Answer 1

redox reaction :- reduction and oxidation.
reduction - decrease in oxidation no.
oxidation- increase in oxidation no.

(oxidation no = charge upon an atom)

CuSO4+ Zn-->ZnSO4 + Cu
here the oxidation no of Cu is decresed from +2 to 0(reduction)
and oxidation no. of Zn is increased from 0 to +2.

hence prooved.

Answer 2

Answer:

Here is your answer buddy

The reaction between copper sulfate, CuSO_4(aq), and zinc, Zn(s) is an oxidation-reduction reaction in which zinc reduces the copper.
