AI Generated Solution

To understand why the blue color of copper sulfate solution starts fading when a zinc rod is dipped in it, we can break down the explanation into clear steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Components - **Copper Sulfate Solution**: The solution is blue in color due to the presence of copper ions (Cu²⁺). - **Zinc Rod**: Zinc is a more reactive metal compared to copper. ### Step 2: Reactivity Series - **Reactivity Series**: Metals are arranged in a reactivity series based on their ability to displace other metals from solutions. Zinc is higher in the reactivity series than copper. ...
