Question

What happens when zn metal is dipped in cuso4 solution?Give the chemical reaction involved.State which is more reactive zn or cu?

Answer 1

Zinc is more reactive than copper. Therefore, zinc can displace copper from its salt solution. If copper sulphate solution is stored in a zinc pot, then zinc will displace copper from the copper sulphate solution.

Zn + CuSO4  → ZnSO4 + Cu
