Where is the excess copper from after adding zinc to copper sulfate?

The "excess" metallic copper produced by adding zinc metal to a copper sulfate solution comes from exchanging zinc atoms from the metal for copper atoms from the copper sulfate solution. During the reaction, the zinc atoms are ionized to cations and the copper cations from the solution are reduced to neutral atoms.

What cant you mix zinc and cupric sulfate?
Because zinc displaces Copper to produce zinc sulfate and Copper
What do copper and zinc make?
SO4 (sulfate) is soluble only when combined with Ba2+, Pb2+, Ca2+, and Sr2+. Since ZnSO4 is not soluble, nothing happens.
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
What happens when zinc is dipped in a copper sulfate solution Zinc is higher on the activity series than copper.?
Zinc becomes plated with copper.
Is zinc plus cupric sulfate equals zinc sulfate plus copper a single displacement reaction?
Yes: Elemental zinc displaces copper from its compounds because zinc is higher in the electromotive series.
What is the balanced symbol equation for zinc plus copper II sulphate -- zinc sulphate plus copper II?
copper (II) sulfate is CuSO4 ; Zinc sulfate is ZnSO4 Zn + CuSO4 --> ZnSO4 + Cu
A metal which cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution?
Copper is a metal that cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution. This is because copper has a lower reactivity than zinc and cannot displace it in a chemical reaction.
Does copper sulfate harm metal?
Under some circumstances some metals such as zinc can be oxidized by copper sulfate.
What happens if you add zinc to copper sulfate And what happens if you add gold to copper sulfate?
Adding zinc to copper sulfate will result in a displacement reaction that will create copper metal to precipitate as a solid. CuSO4(aq) + Zn(s) ---> ZnSO4 + Cu(s) This reaction is quite exothermic too, meaning it will give off alot of heat - enough to make it too hot to hold the reaction beaker in bare hands.
What is the chemical equation for zinc plus cupric sulfate equals zinc sulfate plus copper?
the chemical equation for zinc plus cupric sulfate equals zinc sulfate plus copper can be written in the form of reaction as follows .ZN +Cu SO 4 -> Zn SO 4 + Cu.they form a aqueous solutions.
Zinc reacting with copper sulfate to produce copper and zinc sulfate isn't an example of transmulation why?
Transmutation refers to a nuclear reaction. The equation you have is that of single replacement - a type of a chemical reaction.
What is the balanced chemical equation for zinc plus cupric sulfate equals zinc sulfate plus copper?
Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu
