What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?

The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!


Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?

More reactive than copper.


Why copper cannot displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc


What is the equation for copper sulphate and zinc?

Zinc is more reactive than copper, so it'll displace the copper & form zinc sulphate, taking the place of the copper: Copper sulphate + Zinc --> Zinc sulphate + Copper CuS04 + Zn --> ZnSO4 + Cu


What happens if strip of zinc is dipped in solution of copper sulphate?

Zinc is higher than copper in the electrochemical series, so it will displace copper from it's solutions.Zn + CuSO4 = ZnSO4 + CuCopper plates onto the zinc as a small amount of zinc sulphate is produced.


What would be seen coating the zinc strips in the reaction zinc and iron sulphate?

Hi there, I am not very sure what the coating is called but i think it is iron oxide. lolxx


How does copper and zinc sulphate react together?

zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed


When zinc metal is placed into a solution of copper sulphate a pinky brown metal is formed but when a piece of silver metal is placed into another solution of copper sulphate no change is observed Why?

Silver is lower in the reactivity series than Zinc and therfore cannot displace the Sulphate from the Zinc. But on the other hand zinc is higher than copper, and when displacing the sulphate from the copper it changes colour due to the reaction. Reactivity series(metals): Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum


What is would you expect to see when zinc is added to Copper Sulphate?

there would be a single replacement reaction where the copper forms on the top of the zinc and the blue color of the copper sulfate would get lighter and eventually you would end up with zinc sulfate and copper


Why zinc sulphate and copper have displacement reaction?

No, copper is less reactive than zinc. The sulphate ion stays attached to the zinc.


Zinc plus Copper sulphate?

zinc hydrogenate + copper = zinc + copper sulphate


Which element can displace other elements from the compounds?

An Element higher in the Reactivity Series will displace an Element lower in the Reactivity Series in a compound. Example. Potassium + Zinc Sulphate --> Potassium Sulphate + Zinc
