Question
Write scientific reason.
Adding zinc particles to a solution of copper sulphate makes the blue solution colorless.
Advertisements
Solution
- Zinc is more reactive than copper.
- Therefore, zinc displaces copper from copper sulphate solution.
\[\ce{\underset{\text{sulphate}}{\underset{\text{Copper}}{CuSO_{4(aq)}}} + \underset{\text{Zinc}}{Zn_{(s)}} -> \underset{\text{sulphate}}{\underset{\text{Zinc}}{ZnSO_{4(aq)}}} + \underset{\text{Copper}}{Cu_{(s)}}}\] - The blue colour of copper sulphate solution fades due to the formation of colourless zinc sulphate.
Hence, adding zinc particles to a solution of copper sulphate makes the blue solution colorless.

While performing the experiment with raisins to determine the percentage of water absorbed by them, a student made following measurements:
Mass of water in the beaker = 40 g
Mass of raisins before soaking = 5 g
Mass of raisins after soaking for 2 hours = 8 g
Mass of water left in the beaker after the experiment = 35 g
The percentage of water absorbed by raisins is:
A student weighed some raisins and recorded the weight as ‘x’. She then soaked the raisins in distilled water. After about 2 hours she removed the raisins, wiped them dry and weighed them again, and recorded that as ‘y’. The percentage of water absorbed by raisins may be determined using the relationship.
