Question

What will happen if CUSo4 solution is stored in the zinc container

Answer 1

Since Zinc is more reactive than Copper, the CuSO4 sol. will react with Zinc of the container and will form a ZnSO4 sol. and the container will get coated with Copper

Answer 2

zinc is placed on a higher level than copper in the reactivity series which means that zinc is more reactive than copper. therefore when cuso4 is kept in a zinc container , a displacement reaction will take place. in this reaction copper will be displaced by zinc, hence zinc sulphate will form.

cuso4 + zn--------- znso4 + cu
