Question

What happened when copper turning are put into zinc sulphate solution

Answer 1

as zinc sulphate solution comes lower in series thus it wont be able to displce copper and thus no reaction will take place

Answer 2

When copper turning are put into zinc sulphate solution no reaction takes place.

• A metal that is more reactive than another metal can displace the other metal.
• In the reactivity series, Cu lies below Zn which means Cu is less reactive than Zn. So, Cu can not displace zinc.
• Thus if we put Cu turning in zinc sulphate solution it can't displace the zinc from its solution and no reaction takes place.
