Can you store copper sulphate solutions in a zinc pot?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We cannot store cannot sulphate solution in a zinc pot. This is due to more reactive nature of zinc than copper. Hence, it displaces copper from copper sulphate solution as follows :
`Zn(s)+CuSO_(4)(aq)rarrZnSO_(4)(aq)+Cu(s)`
Thus, Zn reacts with `CuSO_(4)` solution. Hence, we cannot store copper sulphate solution in a zinc pot.
