Question

Which type of a chemical reaction will take place if a piece of zinc is added to an aqueous solution of cupric chloride? write the equation for the reaction. plz give me the answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

copper sulphate solution is in blue and the reaction will happens when the metal zinc is added

Answer 2

When a piece of zinc is added to an aqueous solution of cupric chloride Redox reaction takes place.

• Redox reaction is a reaction where both oxidation and reduction take place.

• In this reaction, Zinc metal is oxidized to Zn2+ ion
• Copper ion Cu2+ is reduced to copper metal.
• CuCl2 is an oxidizing agent and Zn is a reducing agent.

Equation

• Zn + CuCl2 -> ZnCl2 + Cu
• Reduction:    Cu2+ + 2 e- -> Cu
• Oxidation:  Zn -> Zn2+ +2e-
