Question

When Zn metal is kept in CuSO4solution, copper is precipitated and ZnSO4is formed because

Answer 1

Explanation:

IT CAN BE EXPLAIN BY ELECTRO CHEMICAL SETS DEFERENCE

ZN+CUSO4 =ZNSO4 +CU

WHILE CU+ZNSO4=NO REACTION

AS IN ELECTRO CHEMICAL SERIES (ECS) ZN COMES ABOVE THEN CU SO HAVE TENDENCY TO REDUCE CU

ZN AS COMPARED TO CU BECOME GOOD REDUCING AGENT AND THEN IT REDUCE CUSO4 TO CU AND GET OXIDIZED AND BECOME ZNSO4

WHILE

CU IS A GOOD OXIDISING AGENT SO CU GET REDUCE AND ZN GET OXIDIZED

HOPE HELP YOU

THANKS
