What would you observe when zinc is added to a solution of iron (II) sulphate?
Write the chemical reaction that takes place.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When zinc is added to a solution of iron (II) sulphate, the greenish colour of iron (II) sulphate solution fades away gradually, due to the formation of colourless zinc sulphate solution. Iron metal is deposited on zinc.
