In test tube a the chemical reaction takes place
Explanation:
When zinc is added to the solution of iron sulphate, the colour of iron sulphate solution changes. It is because zinc is more reactive than iron, therefore, it displaces iron from its solution of iron sulphate and a grey precipitate of iron and a colourless solution of zinc sulphate is formed.
Actually, nothing will happen. This is because iron is much less reactive than zinc, which means it is unable to displace the zinc from the sulfate solution. If you were to do the reverse, the zinc would displace the iron in the iron sulfate solution to get zinc
