Why aluminium sulfate is added to zinc sulfate solution in zinc plating bath?

Transparent


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.


Could copper also cause zinc ions to precipitate?

No. Ions do not precipitate on their own. Since zinc is more reactive that copper it will replace copper. So placing zinc in a solution of a copper salt will cause elemental copper to precipitate.


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.


What is zinc sulphate on the pH scale?

The pH of zinc sulfate water solution is approx. 4,5.


What do you get when aqueous solutions of sodium carbonate and zinc chloride are combined?

Sodium chloride solution with zinc carbonate precipitate.


Is zinc sulfate available in liquid form?

I wouldn't say that it is "available" but it exists.Zinc sulfate is a crystaline compound and has a high melting point, meaning that it is very impracticle to keep as a liquid. But you can have zinc sulfate solution which is just zinc sulfate crystals dissolved in water.


What colour is ZnSO4 solution?

Zinc sulfate is colorless to white in appearance.


What is final colour of solution formed when zinc metal is dipped in a solution dilute sulphuric acid?

Colorless. The resulting solution is zinc sulfate, and Zn2+ ions are colorless.


When a shiny grey zinc granule is added to a blue solution of copper sulfate a pink brown solid mass is formed. what is it?

It would be copper, which is a pink-brown color. We can know this because zinc is more reactive than copper, so the zinc will replace the copper in the copper sulfate solution, and copper metal will precipitate out of the solution. This is a single replacement reaction, also called a single displacement reaction.Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) --> Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)You can find a metal reactivity series at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactivity_series


Why does zinc sulfate form a colourless solution?

It has a full complement of d electrons


Why was ionic precipitation chosen for the reaction of zinc sulphate and barium chloride?

since both substance will dissolve, the barium and the sulfate will come together and barium sulfate does not dissolve in water so barium sulfate will be the precipitate.
