Question

Why can't we store copper sulphate solution in a zinc container ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Zinc is more reactive than copper. Therefore, zinc can displace copper from its salt solution. If copper sulphate solution is stored in a zinc pot, then zinc will displace copper from the copper sulphate solution.

Zn+CuSO4

​

⟶ZnSO4 + Cu

Hence, the copper sulphate solution cannot be stored in a zinc pot.
