Question

What would you observed when zinc is added to a solution of iron (2) sulphate? Write the chemical reaction that takes place?

Answer 1

Answer:

AS WE KNOW ZINC IS AN HIGHER REACTIVE METAL(AS PER THE REACTIVITY SERIES) THAN IRON SO THE ANSWER WILL BE ZNSO4

Answer 2

◆ Observation -

When zinc is added to solution of iron sulphate, colour of the solution changes from green to colourless.

● Reaction -

When zinc is added to solution of iron sulphate, zinc displaces iron to form zinc sulphate and iron metal.

FeSO4 + Zn --> ZnSO4 + Fe

Here, zinc sulphate forms colorless solution and iron is deposited at the bottom as grey precipitate.
