Zinc is oxidized more easily than copper.
In this reaction, zinc (Zn) is oxidized to form zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) while copper (Cu2+) in copper sulfate (CuSO4) is reduced to copper (Cu). The zinc loses electrons (oxidized) to form zinc sulfate, while the copper gains electrons (reduced) to form solid copper.
Yes, the reaction between Zn and CuCl2 to form ZnCl2 and Cu is a redox reaction. Zinc (Zn) is oxidized to form Zn2+ ions, while copper (Cu2+) is reduced to elemental copper (Cu).
The balanced equation for this reaction is: Zn(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) → Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Cu(s)
When a Zn strip is dipped in CuSO4 solution, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the solution. This results in zinc sulfate being formed and copper metal being deposited on the zinc strip. This demonstrates that zinc is more reactive than copper in this reaction.
Zn(s) --> Zn2+(aq) + 2e : Oxidation Cu+(aq) + 1e --> Cu(s) : Reduction
In this reaction, zinc (Zn) is oxidized to form zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) while copper (Cu2+) in copper sulfate (CuSO4) is reduced to copper (Cu). The zinc loses electrons (oxidized) to form zinc sulfate, while the copper gains electrons (reduced) to form solid copper.
In the reaction Zn + CuCl2 → ZnCl2 + Cu, CuCl2 is the oxidizing agent because it accepts electrons from Zn, causing zinc to be oxidized and copper to be reduced.CuCl2 itself gets reduced to Cu.
