Question

what will happen if zinc is added to copper sulphate solution​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

As Zinc is more reactive than copper, zinc displaces copper from copper sulphate & forms zinc sulphate solution. This is indicated by colour change from blue to colourless. CuSO4 solution has a blue colour while ZnSO4 solution is colourless. Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) -> Cu(s) + ZnSO4 (aq).

Answer 2

Answer :-

When zinc is added to copper sulphate solution, zinc being more reactive than copper, displaces copper from it's compound and forms zinc sulphate.

Copper solution has a color of blue, when zinc reacts with this solution, the color of Copper solution changes to colorless.
