Welcome to the NCERT Solutions for Class 12th Chemistry - Chapter Electrochemistry. This page offers a step-by-step solution to the specific question from Exercise 1, Question 2: can you store copper sulphate solutions in a zinc....
Question 2

Can you store copper sulphate solutions in a zinc pot?

Answer

Zinc is more reactive than copper. Therefore, zinc can displace copper from its salt solution. If copper sulphate solution is stored in a zinc pot, then zinc will displace copper from the copper sulphate solution.

Zn + CuSO4  → ZnSO4 + Cu

Hence, copper sulphate solution cannot be stored in a zinc pot.
