Can we store copper sulphate solution in a zinc vessel ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

No, we cannot store copper sulphate solution in a zinc vessel. From electrochemical series, electrode potential of copper is more than that of zinc. Therefore it will be readily reduced to copper and zinc will be oxidised. As a result, zinc vessel will dissolve in the solution.
