Question

What happens when a zinc strip is dipped into a copper sulphate solution?
Write the equation for the reaction that takes place.

Solution

When zinc strip is dipped into copper sulphate solution, it displaces copper from its solution because zinc is more reactive than copper.
Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) → ZnSO4 (aq) + Cu (s)
