Zinc reacts with copper II nitrate to form zinc nitrate and copper?

Answer 1

If you mean copper plus zinc nitrate, it appears to be a single replacement (displacement). However, according to the reactivity series of metals, this reaction will not occur. In order for a metal to replace (displace) a metal in a compound, it must be more reactive than the metal in the compound. We can determine this by looking at a reactivity series. In a reactivity series, the metals are listed in descending order of reactivity, and a metal can replace only the metals that are below it in the series. Copper is below zinc in the reactivity series, so it cannot replace the zinc in zinc sulfate. So the equation would be:

Cu + ZnSO4 --> no reaction

Answer 2

Most often, these reactants yield zinc nitrate and elemental copper. It may be possible to control conditions so that instead the products are copper I nitrate and zinc nitrate, or a mixture of copper metal, copper I nitrate, and zinc nitrate could be formed.

Answer 3

if the first copper is copper (II), then the answer is Zn(s) + Cu(NO3)2(aq) yields Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Cu(s)

Answer 4

Yes it does. Here is its equation(already balanced):

Zn + Cu(NO3)2 ----> Cu + Zn(NO3)2

Answer 5

Yes: copper is replaced with zinc which is more reactive.

Answer 6

The chemical equation for this reaction is: Zn + Cu(NO3)2 -> Zn(NO3)2 + Cu. In this single displacement reaction, zinc displaces copper from copper(II) nitrate to form zinc nitrate and solid copper.

Answer 7

No this reaction does-not take place

Answer 8

Zn + Cu(no3)2 = Zn(no3)2 + Cu
