Question

What happens when a rod of zinc metal is dipped into a solution of copper sulphate? give chemical equation.

Answer 1

when a rod of zinc metal is dipped into a solution of copper sulphate then the zinc reacts with it and displaces the copper. its colour will change from Blue to colourless in the meanwhile copper sulphate is blue and Zinc is colourless.
chemical equation for this is-
Zn + Cuso4 = cu + znso4
hope u get...

Answer 2

Answer:

When zinc is added to copper sulphate (CuSO₄) solution due to more reactivity of zinc, copper is replaced by zinc and forms zinc sulphate.

Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu

Explanation:

Because zinc has higher reactivity than copper, it replaces copper in copper sulphate (CuSO₄) solutions and creates zinc sulphate. Copper precipitates as zinc metal dissolve in the solution. The solution's colour shifts from blue to colourless during the procedure.

This is due to the fact that Zn is higher in the electrochemical series than Cu and has higher reducing power than Cu.

A metal can displace any other metal placed below it in the series from the salt solution of the latter.
