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.

Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt solution?

because in table of re-activity of metals it is below zinc


Zinc metal is added to a solution of silver nitrate?

In this reaction, the zinc metal will displace silver ions in the solution because zinc is more reactive than silver. As a result, zinc will oxidize to form zinc ions while silver ions from the silver nitrate will be reduced to form silver metal. This reaction is an example of a single displacement reaction.


A metal which cannot replace zinc from zinc sulfate solution?

Copper, silver, and gold are three safe examples.


When zinc metal is placed into a solution of copper sulphate a pinky brown metal is formed but when a piece of silver metal is placed into another solution of copper sulphate no change is observed Why?

Silver is lower in the reactivity series than Zinc and therfore cannot displace the Sulphate from the Zinc. But on the other hand zinc is higher than copper, and when displacing the sulphate from the copper it changes colour due to the reaction. Reactivity series(metals): Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium Aluminium Zinc Iron Tin Lead Copper Silver Gold Platinum


Why is zinc and not copper is used for the recovery of silver from cyanide complex?

Zinc is used for the recovery of silver from cyanide complex because zinc has a stronger affinity for cyanide compared to silver. When zinc is added to the cyanide solution, it displaces silver from the complex, forming insoluble silver-zinc alloy particles that can be easily separated. Copper is not used because it does not have a strong enough affinity for cyanide to displace silver effectively.


Will zinc react in silver nitrate solution.why?

Yes, zinc will react with silver nitrate solution. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than silver, so zinc displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution to form zinc nitrate and silver metal.


What happens when silver nitrate solution is stored in zinc vessel?

Some of the silver ions from the silver nitrate solution are deposited as metallic silver on the contacted parts of the zinc vessel and are replaced by half as many zinc ions in the solution.


What metal can remove zinc from a solution?

A metal like iron or magnesium can remove zinc from a solution through a redox reaction where the more reactive metal displaces the less reactive zinc ions. For example, iron can displace zinc from a solution containing zinc ions to form iron ions and solid zinc.


What happens to zinc when dipped in silver nitrate?

Parts of the zinc near its interface with an aqueous solution of silver nitrate dissolve into zinc cations in the soution, and the corresponding electrical charge of silver cations is reduced to metallic silver, usually adhering to the surface of the remaining zinc.


Will zinc precipitate copper from gold chloride?

Yes, zinc can displace copper from gold chloride solution through a redox reaction. The zinc will react with the copper ions in the gold chloride solution, leading to the formation of copper metal and zinc chloride.


Why does ag not reaplace zn form znso4 solution?

Ag does not replace Zn in a ZnSO4 solution because Ag is lower in the reactivity series compared to Zn. In a single replacement reaction, a more reactive metal will replace a less reactive metal in a compound. Since Ag is less reactive than Zn, it cannot displace Zn in the solution.


Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

No, zinc will displace copper from copper sulphate but not the other way around.
