What is more reactive zinc or copper sulphate?
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.
Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
Why nothing happens when a piece of copper metal is placed in zinc sulphate solution?
Copper COULD replace the zinc ion to form a copper ion and zinc metal IF it were more reactive (ignoble, base metal) than zinc. However the opposite is true!Cu + Zn2+ -xx-> Cu2+ + Znis not possible,The reversed will do:Cu2+ + Zn ---> Cu + Zn2+
Why does zinc reacts with DI sulfuric acid to give hydrogen gas but not copper?
If you look at reactivity series, you will find zinc to be more reactive than hydrogen while copper being less reactive than it. Therefore zinc is able to displace hydrogen from sulphuric acid while copper is not. The reaction with zinc is:- Zn + H2SO4 -------> ZnSO4 +H2 The reaction with copper is Cu + H2SO4 ---------> No reaction
Why will magnesium metal react with copper sulfate solution while copper metal will not react with magnesium sulfate solution?
Magnesium is more reactive than copper in the reactivity series (reactive metal atoms displaces less reactive metal ions from its salts).therefore : Mg displaces CU from its salt forming MgSO4 (Magnesium Sulphate)
Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?
more reactive than copper. In a displacement reaction, the more reactive element will displace the less reactive element from its compound. Zinc has a higher reactivity than copper on the reactivity series of metals, allowing it to displace copper in the reaction.
Why does zinc separate copper sulphate?
Because zinc is more reactive than copper.
What is more reactive zinc or copper sulphate?
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.
Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
Why is zinc copper sulphate - zinc sulphate copper a displacement reaction?
it is because zinc is more reactive than copper. thus it can replace copper from its compound. displacement reaction is the reaction in which the more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from its compound. hence zinc is replacing copper from its compound. Obviously it is a displacement reaction.
What electrode is more reactive copper or zinc?
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.
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
What is the correct procedure to show that zinc is more reactive than copper?
suck it
What will happen when copper is put in zinc nitrate solution?
Nothing. Zinc is more reactive than copper, and zinc has already undergone oxidation to become an ion (remember, zinc nitrate is soluble.) So the copper will just sit there because it's not reactive enough to do anything.
Would copper and zinc nitrate react?
They could, since magnesium is more reactive than copper, and could displace it to form magnesium nitrate.
How does the reactivity of a metal affects displacement reactions?
The reactivity of a metal influences its ability to displace another metal in a displacement reaction. A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound. For example, a more reactive metal like zinc can displace copper from copper sulfate because zinc is more reactive than copper.
