Question

What happens when zinc strip is dipped into copper sulphate solutions

Answer 1

Zn + CuSO4-------------->ZnSO4 + Cu..........

Answer 2

CuSO4 solution has a blue colour while ZnSO4 solution is colourless. Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) -> Cu(s) + ZnSO4 (aq). When zinc and copper sulphate react in the aqueous state, a simple displacement reaction will take place in which the zinc will displace thecopper from the copper sulphate to form zinc sulphate.
