Question

What happen when zinc is added to the aqueous solution of copper sulphate? Give a balanced equation for the reaction. Name and define the type of reaction involved in the above reaction

Answer 1

Zinc is more reactive that copper and hence it will displace Copper from it's solution and will make it's own solution.

Zn(s)+CuSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq)+Cu(s)

This reaction is a example of Displacement Reaction.

Displacement Reaction:- The reaction in which more reactive element displaces less reactive element from its solution.
