Question

what would you observe when zinc is added to a solution of iron sulphate? Write the chemical reaction that takes place.​

Answer 1

When zinc is added to Iron sulphate solution We observe:

• When zinc is added to Iron sulphate solution We observe:Change of pale green colour to white colour
• When zinc is added to Iron sulphate solution We observe:Change of pale green colour to white colour Displacement reaction takes place as zinc is more reactive than iron

Equation :

Equation : Zn+FeSO4----->ZnSO4+Fe

Equation : Zn+FeSO4----->ZnSO4+Fe (green. (white

vitriol). vitriol)

Answer 2

When zinc is added to a solution of iron sulphate, Zinc displaces Iron from its compound because Zinc is more reactive than Iron.

Equation : FeSO4 + Zn -> ZnSO4 + Fe
