Can you store copper sulphate solutions in a zinc pot?

उत्तर
\[\ce{E^\circ_{{Zn^{2+}/{ Zn}}}}\] = −0.76 V
\[\ce{E^\circ_{{Cu^{2+}/{ Cu}}}}\] = 0.34 V
We have to check whether the following reaction takes place or not.
\[\ce{Zn_{(s)} + CuSO4_{(aq)} -> ZnSO4_{(aq)} + Cu_{(s)}}\]
The cell can be represented as:
Zn | Zn2+ || Cu2+ | Cu
\[\ce{E^\circ_{cell} = E^\circ_{Cu^{2+}/Cu} - E^\circ_{Zn^{2+}/ Zn}}\]
= 0.34 V – (–0.76 V)
= 1.1 V
Since \[\ce{E^\circ_{cell}}\] is positive, the reaction takes place, and we cannot store CuSO4 solution in a zinc pot.

Oxidation-reduction reactions are commonly known as redox reactions. They involve transfer of electrons from one species to another. In a spontaneous reaction, energy is released which can be used to do useful work. The reaction is split into two half-reactions. Two different containers are used and a wire is used to drive the electrons from one side to the other and a Voltaic/Galvanic cell is created. It is an electrochemical cell that uses spontaneous redox reactions to generate electricity. A salt bridge also connects to the half-cells. The reading of the voltmeter gives the cell voltage or cell potential or electromotive force. If \[\ce{E^0_{cell}}\] is positive the reaction is spontaneous and if it is negative the reaction is non-spontaneous and is referred to as electrolytic cell. Electrolysis refers to the decomposition of a substance by an electric current. One mole of electric charge when passed through a cell will discharge half a mole of a divalent metal ion such as Cu2+. This was first formulated by Faraday in the form of laws of electrolysis.
