Can you store copper sulphate soolutions in a zinc pot ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, zinc pot cannot store cpooer sulphate solutions because the standard electrode potential `(E^(0))` vlaud of zinc is less than that of copper. So, zinc is stronger reducing agent then copper.
`Zn _((aq))^(2) +2e^(-)to Zn_((s)), E^(0) =-0.76V`
`CU_((aq))^(2+)+2e^(-) to Cu(s) ,E ^(0) =-0.34V`
So, zinc will loss electrons to `Cu_((aq))^(2+)` ions and redox reaction will occur as follows.
`Zn (s) +Cu_((aq))^(2+)to Zn_((aq))^(2+)+Cu(s)`
