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

∙ 11y agoDisplacement reaction takes place when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its salt solution. Copper is less reactive than zinc and thus cannot displace it from it's salt solution.
hope it will help. ^_^

∙ 13y agoYes, copper cannot displace zinc as it is less reactive than zinc and in Chemistry "a more reactive metal can replace a less reactive metal but a less reactive one cannot replace a more reactive one"

∙ 14y agoCopper cannot displace Zinc from its salt solution because copper is a less reactive metal then zinc.

∙ 13y agoCu is unable to displace Zn in a zinc sulphate solution because Zn is more reactive than copper and therefore has greater reducing abilities since it easily donates electrons :)

Why copper cannot replace iron from its salt solution?

What change is expected in the reaction mixture if a copper wire is kept immersed in AN Iron sulphate solution?
No reaction, because iron is a more active metal than copper. This means that copper cannot reduce iron from its salt.
Why do vinegar and salt clean iron oxide from pennies?
Vinegar and salt solution, the acetic acid from the vinegar dissolves the copper oxide. The copper from the copper oxide stays in the liquid
How do you distinguish between copper sulphate solution sodium chloride solution sodium nitrate solution or sodium sulphate solution?
copper sulphate solution-blue sodium chloride (salt) solution-clear sodium nitrate solution- white to clear sodium sulphate solution- white copper sulphate solution-blue sodium chloride (salt) solution-clear sodium nitrate solution- white to clear sodium sulphate solution- white
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.
Why iron does not displace sodium from salt solution?
Iron does not displace sodium from a salt solution because it is not reactive enough. Iron does, however, displace Cu from a copper sulphate solution.
What happens if you put copper metal into a solution of aluminum sulfate?
Nothing will happen. Displacement reaction only happens when the element is more reactive than the salt solution. An example will be the otherwise. If you put aluminum metal into a solution of Copper (II) Sulfate. The aluminum metal will displace copper metal and you will have a solution of Aluminum Sulfate and copper metal. As long the element you put into the salt solution is more reactive than the cation of the solution, it will displace the metal.

Copper cannot displace zinc from its salt sollution?
bcoz CU is situated at a lower poistion in activity series of metal as compared to ZN.
Why does magnesium displace copper from copper sulphate?
This is a simple displacement reaction - the more reactive magnesium displaces the less reactive copper from a solution of its salt. .... magnesium + copper sulphate ---> copper + magnesium sulphate Mg + CuSO4 ----> MgSO4 + Cu the blue colour of the copper sulphate will disappear and the silver coloured magnesium will be replaced by brown-red copper metal. Hope this helps. :)
What change is expected in the reaction mixture if a copper wire is kept immersed in AN Iron sulphate solution?
No reaction, because iron is a more active metal than copper. This means that copper cannot reduce iron from its salt.
Is copper sulphate a colloid?
No, it is a salt. I water it forms a solution.
Why does magnesium react with copper nitrate?
magnesium is more reactive than copper so,it displaces copper from its salt solution.
Why do vinegar and salt clean iron oxide from pennies?
Vinegar and salt solution, the acetic acid from the vinegar dissolves the copper oxide. The copper from the copper oxide stays in the liquid
