Question : 10
Total: 36
State which of the following chemical reactions will take place or not, giving suitable reason for each :
(a)Zn ( s ) + CuSO 4 ( aq ) → ZnSO 4 ( aq ) + Cu ( s )
(b)Fe ( s ) + ZnSO 4 ( aq ) → FeSO 4 ( aq ) + Zn ( s )
(c)Zn ( s ) + FeSO 4 ( aq ) → ZnSO 4 ( aq ) + Fe (s)
(a)
(b)
(c)
Solution:
(b) Fe ( s ) + ZnSO 4 ( aq ) → FeSO 4 ( aq ) + Zn ( s ) is not possible, because Zn is more reactive than Fe so it cannot be replaced.
