Nothing. Zinc is more reactive than copper, and zinc has already undergone oxidation to become an ion (remember, zinc nitrate is soluble.) So the copper will just sit there because it's not reactive enough to do anything.

What happens when copper metal is put in zinc nitrate solution?

due to the transfer of electron the zinc nitrate forms to zinc, and copper is formed to copper nitrate. this is usually followed by half equations which are: Cu -> Cu ^2+ + 2e zn^2+ + 2e -> zn where e is electrons and 2+ is representative of the nitrate


Would copper and zinc nitrate react?

They could, since magnesium is more reactive than copper, and could displace it to form magnesium nitrate.


What would happen if aluminum was dipped into a zinc nitrate solution?

the hydrogen's chlorine will be transferred to zinc forming a bubbles


What are the reactions of copper and zinc metal using concentrated nitric acid concentrated sulfuric acid potassium chloride solution and zinc powder metal?

copper+nitric acid > copper nitrate+hydrogen copper+sulpuric acid> copper sulphate+ hydrogen copper+potassium chloride> copper chloride+ hydrogen copper+ zinc carbonate (powder metal) > copper+ zinc + water + carbon dioxide zinc+nitric acid > zinc nitrate+ hydrogen etc just replace the copper in the above equations with 'zinc' for all the zinc solutions x


Does copper chloride and zinc nitrate for a precipitate?

no it does not because it forms a production of gas


Will zinc react in silver nitrate solution.why?

Yes, zinc will react with silver nitrate solution. This reaction occurs because zinc is more reactive than silver, so zinc displaces silver from the silver nitrate solution to form zinc nitrate and silver metal.


What will be the observations when Zinc nitrate solution is added to Lead nitrate solution?

When zinc nitrate solution is added to lead nitrate solution you willÊapparently observe a black solid being formed. All of the research yielded facts from adding solid metal to either zinc or lead.


What happens when zinc is dipped in a copper sulfate solution Zinc is higher on the activity series than copper.?

When zinc is dipped in a copper sulfate solution, zinc will undergo a single displacement reaction where it will replace copper in the solution to form zinc sulfate and copper. This is because zinc is higher on the activity series than copper, so it is able to displace copper in the solution.


What does copper chloride and zinc nitrate form?

CuCl2 + ZnNO3 --> CuNO3 + ZnCl2That is if this reaction is even possible.. I'm not sure.. ;)


What happens when a silver piece of zinc is placed in a blue solution of copper ii nitrate?

The silver piece of zinc dissolves forming zinc ions. Copper(ii) reduce into copper(i) ions. The blue color of the solution decreases.


What is more reactive zinc or copper sulphate?

Zinc is more reactive than copper sulfate. When zinc is placed in a solution of copper sulfate, a displacement reaction occurs where zinc displaces copper from the solution, forming zinc sulfate and copper metal.


How do you identify between aluminum nitrate and zinc nitrate when they are both in solution?

Zinc is most reactive of the three. So if you put a piece of zinc metal to the three solution you will observe, In the Zinc nitrate solution there is no reaction while others have. As zinc is most reactive of three, in will displace the respective metals out of their solution. If the zinc is coated with reddish covering, it is Copper nitrate. If is coated with silvery needles, the solution is Tin nitrate.Zn + Cu(NO3)2 ----> Cu + Zn(NO3)2Zn + Sn(NO3)2 ----> Sn + Zn(NO3)2Zn + Zn(NO3)2 ----> [No reaction]
