Question
State the change in colour observed in following case mentioning the reason:
A piece of zinc is dipped in ferrous sulphate solution.

Solution
The colour of iron sulphate solution changes when zinc is added to iron (II) sulphate solution. Because zinc is more reactive than iron, it displaces iron from its solution of iron sulphate, resulting in the formation of an iron precipitate that is grey in colour and a colourless solution of zinc sulphate.
\[\ce{Zn + FeSO4->ZnSO4 + Fe}\]

When a black metal compound XO is heated with a colourless gas Y2, then metal X and another compound Y2O are formed. Metal X is red-brown in colour which does not react with dilute acids at all. Gas Y2 can be prepared by the action of a dilute acid on any active metal. The compound Y2O is a liquid at room temperature which can turn anhydrous copper sulphate blue.
