उत्तर

\[\ce{E^Θ_{{Zn^{2+}/{ Zn}}}}\] = −0.76 V; \[\ce{E^Θ_{{Cu^{2+}/{ Cu}}}}\] = 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:

\[\ce{Zn | Zn^{2+} || Cu^{2+} | Cu}\]

\[\ce{E^Θ_{cell} = E^Θ_{{Cu^{2+}/{ Cu}}} - E^Θ_{{Zn^{2+}/{ Zn}}}}\]

= 0.34 V – (–0.76 V)

= 1.1 V

Since \[\ce{E^Θ_{cell}}\] is positive, the reaction takes place, and we cannot store \[\ce{CuSO4}\] solution in a zinc pot.
