When gold is leached from an ore, the gold is present in the solution as cations. Zinc is much higher in the electromotive series than gold and is therefore thermodynamically capable of reducing gold cations to metallic gold, the zinc being converted to zinc cations. No substantial activation energy is required for this reaction, and the reaction therefore proceeds smoothly, until all the available metallic zinc has been: consumed; so thoroughly covered with deposited gold that the solution can no longer contact any of the underlying metallic zinc; and/or all the gold cations have been removed from the leachate.

Can silver displace zinc from its salt solution?
If the zinc salt is soluble and the analogous silver salt is not, silver will displace the zinc as the silver salt precipitates out. For example, zinc chloride is soluble, but the solubility of silver chloride is very low. If silver nitrate is added to a zinc chloride solution, silver chloride will precipitate out, leaving zinc nitrate in solution.
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.
Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
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)
Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?
No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.

What metal can displace iron from iron chloride Zinc or iron or Copper?
zinc
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.
How do you write a sentence with the word displace?
Zinc metal will displace mercury from most mercury compounds, forming liquid mercury and the corresponding zinc compounds.
Why copper cannot displace zinc from zinc sulphate?
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
Which metals among ZnCu can replace iron from its compounds?
Zinc displace iron. Iron displace copper.
Does zinc displace hydrogen from cold water?
Yes , slowly.
Zinc can displace copper from copper sulphate solution because zinc is?
More reactive than copper.
Which element can displace other elements from the compounds?
An Element higher in the Reactivity Series will displace an Element lower in the Reactivity Series in a compound. Example. Potassium + Zinc Sulphate --> Potassium Sulphate + Zinc
What is the formula for zinc chloride reacting with copper?
The two do not react. Zinc is more active than copper and thus copper can not displace zinc.
Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?
because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc
