Does zinc react with iron sulphate?

Answer 1

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)

Answer 2

When the iron sulfate is that of iron(II), the reaction is Zn + FeSO4 => Fe + ZnSO4. If the iron sulfate is that of iron (III), the reaction is:

3 Zn + 2 Fe2(SO4)3 => 3 ZnSO4 + 4 Fe. so it is zinc sulphate + iron, just to help

Answer 3

Yes, zinc does react with iron sulfate through a single displacement reaction. The more reactive metal, zinc, will displace the less reactive metal, iron, from its compound, iron sulfate, forming zinc sulfate and iron metal. This type of reaction is a common example of the reactivity series in chemistry.

Answer 4

there will be no reaction as zinc is more reactive than iron.So iron cannot displace zinc.

Answer 5

Yes. Zinc would displace the copper in the copper sulfate.

Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu.

Answer 6

Yes. cuz Zinc is above iron in reactivity series.

Answer 7

Yes, zinc can displace iron from iron sulfate through a single displacement reaction. This reaction results in zinc sulfate and iron metal being produced.

Answer 8

None
