Can you store `CuSO_(4)` solution in `Zn` pot ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
No

`E_((Zn^(2+)|Zn))^(c-)=-0.76V,E_((Cu^(2+)|Cu))^(c-)=0.34V`
To CHMeck whether zinc reacts with `CuSO_(4)` solution, `i.e.,` whether the following reaction takes place or not
`Zn(s)+CuSO_(4)(aq) rarr ZnSO_(4)(aq)+Cu(s)`
Find the `EMF` of this cell reaction. The cell may be represented as `:` `Zn|Zn^(2+)||Cu^(2+)|Cu`
`E_(cell)^(c-)=E_((Cu^(2+)|Cu))^(c-)-E_((Zn^(2+)|Zn))^(c-)=0.34V-(-0.76V)=1.10V`
As `E_(cell)^(c-)` is positive, the reaction takes place and we cannot stored.
