The correct Answer is:
To solve the question about the color change of copper sulfate solution when granulated zinc is added, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Initial Solution**: - The initial solution is copper sulfate (CuSO4), which is known to be blue in color. 2. **Add Granulated Zinc**: - When granulated zinc (Zn) is added to the copper sulfate solution, a chemical reaction occurs. 3. **Understand the Reaction**: - Zinc is more reactive than copper. According to the reactivity series, zinc can displace copper from its compound. - The reaction can be represented as: \[ \text{Zn} + \text{CuSO}_4 \rightarrow \text{ZnSO}_4 + \text{Cu} \] - In this reaction, zinc displaces copper from copper sulfate, forming zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and releasing copper (Cu). 4. **Identify the Color of the Products**: - Zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) is colorless in solution. - Copper (Cu) is a solid and does not affect the color of the solution. 5. **Determine the Color Change**: - Initially, the solution was blue due to the presence of copper sulfate. - After the reaction, the solution becomes colorless because zinc sulfate is formed, which does not impart any color to the solution. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the color of the solution changes from blue to colorless. ### Final Answer: The correct option is **B: blue to colorless**. ---
