Zinc is more reactive than copper, so it'll displace the copper & form zinc sulphate, taking the place of the copper:

Copper sulphate + Zinc --> Zinc sulphate + Copper

CuS04 + Zn --> ZnSO4 + Cu

What two things happen when zinc is added to copper sulphate?

The Zinc will displace the copper. It will become Zinc Sulphate. The word equation will be Zinc + Copper Sulphate -----> Copper + Zinc Sulphate. Hope this helps!


What is the chemical equation for zinc sulphate solution plus copper?

The chemical equation is C7H4O9


What is the word equation for copper sulphate and zinc?

This is called a reduction / oxidation reaction:Reduction of Cu2+ to Cu , done by electron donation from Zn which is then oxidized to Zn2+.Sulfate ions (SO42-) do not take part in this, they're called: tribuned ions.


Does copper displace zinc from zinc sulphate?

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


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


Why zinc sulphate and copper have displacement reaction?

No, copper is less reactive than zinc. The sulphate ion stays attached to the zinc.


What is the balanced symbol equation for zinc plus copper II sulphate -- zinc sulphate plus copper II?

copper (II) sulfate is CuSO4 ; Zinc sulfate is ZnSO4 Zn + CuSO4 --> ZnSO4 + Cu


Zinc plus Copper sulphate?

When zinc is added to copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the compound to form zinc sulfate and copper metal. The balanced chemical equation is: Zn + CuSO4 -> ZnSO4 + Cu. The copper metal will appear as a reddish-brown precipitate while the zinc sulfate solution will remain colorless.


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.


Why does the blue colour of copper sulphate disappear when a zinc plate is dipped into it?

The copper plates out while the zinc dissolves, leaving a transparent zinc sulphate solution.


Why does zinc separate copper sulphate?

Because zinc is more reactive than copper.
