Question

what happen when zinc granules are put in cooper sulphate solution?write an equation also

Answer 1

Answer:

When zinc granules are put in copper sulphate solution, then the following reaction happens:

CuSO4 + Zn ---> ZnSO4 + Cu

☆ NOTE:

CuSO4 is copper sulphate solution.

Zn is zinc granule

ZnSO4 is zinc sulfate solution

Cu is copper

These types of reactions are known as displacement reactions.

Displacement reactions are the reactions in which a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution.

Here in this reaction, copper is less reactive than zinc. Therefore zinc displaces copper from its salt solution and zinc sulphate is formed. Copper is left behind.
