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
Why is copper more reactive than zinc?
Actually zinc is more reactive than copper.
Why will magnesium metal react with copper sulfate solution while copper metal will not react with magnesium sulfate solution?
Magnesium is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series (reactive metal atoms displaces less reactive metal ions from its salts).therefore : Mg displaces CU from its salt forming MgSO4 (Magnesium Sulphate)
Is it advisable to store ferrous sulphate in a zinc container?
No. The zinc will react with the ferrous sulphate, dissolving the zinc and forming solid iron. This is due to the positions of iron and zinc in the activity series.See the Related Questions for more information about the activity series.
Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
Why does zinc separate copper sulphate?
Because zinc is more reactive than copper.
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
Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?
More reactive than copper.
Why is zinc copper sulphate - zinc sulphate copper a displacement reaction?
it is because zinc is more reactive than copper. thus it can replace copper from its compound. displacement reaction is the reaction in which the more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from its compound. hence zinc is replacing copper from its compound. Obviously it is a displacement reaction.
Why copper rods not used to separate zinc from zinc sulphate?
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.
Why zinc sulphate and copper have displacement reaction?
No, copper is less reactive than zinc. The sulphate ion stays attached to the 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 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
Is it possible to store CuSO4 solution in Zn container?
No, it is not. Since zinc is highly reactive, therefore it will react with copper sulphate to form zinc sulphate and deposit copper.
Why is copper more reactive than zinc?
Actually zinc is more reactive than copper.
Why will magnesium metal react with copper sulfate solution while copper metal will not react with magnesium sulfate solution?
Magnesium is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series (reactive metal atoms displaces less reactive metal ions from its salts).therefore : Mg displaces CU from its salt forming MgSO4 (Magnesium Sulphate)
