The correct Answer is:
To determine whether the statement "Copper displaces zinc from zinc sulphate solution" is true or false, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Displacement Reactions Displacement reactions occur when a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its compound. ### Step 2: Refer to the Reactivity Series The reactivity series is a list of metals arranged in order of decreasing reactivity. In this series, more reactive metals can displace less reactive metals from their compounds. ### Step 3: Identify the Reactivity of Copper and Zinc In the reactivity series: - Zinc (Zn) is more reactive than Copper (Cu). - This means that zinc can displace copper from its compounds, but copper cannot displace zinc. ### Step 4: Analyze the Statement The statement claims that copper can displace zinc from zinc sulphate solution. Since zinc is more reactive than copper, this statement is false. ### Step 5: Mark the Answer Based on the analysis, we can conclude that the statement is false. Therefore, we mark it as 'F'. ### Final Answer: F (False) ---
