Zinc and copper are solid metals.
No. Zinc, copper, potassium and aluminum foil are all solids. No metal is a a gas at room temperature.
Zinc is more reactive than copper sulfate. When zinc is placed in a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the solution, forming zinc sulfate and copper metal.
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
Alloys of zinc and copper are well known. There are no chemical compounds of zinc and copper.
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 and Copper Copper and zinc make up the mixture (alloy) brass.
When zinc is dipped in a copper sulfate solution, zinc will undergo a single displacement reaction where it will replace copper in the solution to form zinc sulfate and copper. This is because zinc is higher on the activity series than copper, so it is able to displace copper in the solution.
Brass is mainly an alloy of copper and zinc. Some alloys do have small amounts of arsenic added also.
Alloys that contain only copper and zinc are usually called "brass"; there are also some alloys that contain one or more other metals in addition to copper and zinc, and these usually have another name.
Copper rods cannot separate zinc from zinc sulphate because copper is less reactive than zinc, and cannot separate the zinc which is more reactive than copper. If you get copper sulphate and add some zinc to it, you will see solid copper appearing on the bottom of the test tube... The copper cannot push out the zinc from the solution and take its place.
When zinc is added to copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the compound to form zinc sulfate and copper metal. The balanced chemical equation is: Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu. The copper metal will appear as a reddish-brown precipitate while the zinc sulfate solution will remain colorless.
Copper pennies (95% copper, 5% zinc) weigh 3.11 grams. Modern zinc pennies (97.5% zinc, 2.5% copper) weigh 2.5 grams.
