Can you store copper sulphate solution in a zinc pot?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No. because zinc can displace copper from copper.sulphate solution. `=+0.34 ~V-(-0.76 ~V)` `=+1.10 ~V` Since the e.m:f comes of to be positive, it implies that the reaction bétween `CuSO_4` and zine will take place. Hence `CuSO_4` solution cannót be stored in a zinc pot.
