in what? without knowing in what system the zinc is replacing iron, the answer cannot be fully given. Only a generalization of Zn and Fe both being in a +2 oxidation state would allow one to replace the other.

Yes, because Zinc is more reactive than Iron.

Zinc + Iron sulphate ----> Zinc sulphate + Iron

or in equation form- Zn + FeSo4 = ZnSo4 + Fe

What metal can displace iron from iron chloride Zinc or iron or Copper?

zinc


Which metals among ZnCu can replace iron from its compounds?

Zinc displace iron. Iron displace copper.


What happens when iron pieces added in zinc sulphate solution?

Actually, nothing will happen. This is because iron is much less reactive than zinc, which means it is unable to displace the zinc from the sulfate solution. If you were to do the reverse, the zinc would displace the iron in the iron sulfate solution to get zinc sulfate and Iron.


Would you expect zinc to displace iron in displacement reaction?

Yes. Zinc will likely replace iron because it is more reactive.


Why doesnt zinc react with magnesium nitrate or iron chloride?

Magnesium and iron are both more electromotive then zinc, so zinc can't displace them in a compound.


Does zinc react with iron sulphate?

Zinc and iron sulphate do react. Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than iron. It can therefore displace sulphate from the iron and 'take' the sulfate. Zinc + Iron Sulphate ------------> Zinc Sulphate + Iron The reactivity series is as follows: Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum There are many clever ways to remember this too. This is the metal reactivity series BTW(by the way)


Would zinc and iron nitrate react?

No, there would be no reaction present. This is because the particles are more reactive in the zinc then they are in the iron, thus creating no displacement reaction to occur between the metals.


Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

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