Best Answer

This is called a reduction / oxidation reaction:

Reduction of Cu2+ to Cu , done by electron donation from Zn which is then oxidized to Zn2+.

Sulfate ions (SO42-) do not take part in this, they're called: tribuned ions.

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

copper (II) sulfate is CuSO4 ; Zinc sulfate is ZnSO4 Zn + CuSO4 --> ZnSO4 + Cu


Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.


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

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


What is more reactive zinc or copper sulphate?

zinc


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.
