Because zinc is more reactive than copper.
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.
The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
zinc is more reactive than copper hence it displaces the copper in copper sulphate solution to become zinc sulphate and copper metal is formed
No, copper is less reactive than zinc. The sulphate ion stays attached to the zinc.
The reaction between copper sulfate and zinc can be represented by the following equation: CuSO4 + Zn -> ZnSO4 + Cu. In this reaction, zinc replaces copper in the copper sulfate solution, resulting in the formation of zinc sulfate and solid copper.
The copper plates out while the zinc dissolves, leaving a transparent zinc sulphate solution.
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.
This reaction is not possible.
Zinc is more reactive than copper sulfate. When zinc is placed in a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the solution, forming zinc sulfate and copper metal.
When zinc is added to copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the compound to form zinc sulfate and copper metal. The balanced chemical equation is: Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu. The copper metal will appear as a reddish-brown precipitate while the zinc sulfate solution will remain colorless.
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
