Question

Can you store copper sulphate solutions in a zinc pot?

Open in App

Solution

Zinc is more reactive than copper. Therefore, zinc can displace copper from its salt solution. If copper sulphate solution is stored in a zinc pot, then zinc will displace copper from the copper sulphate solution.

Hence, copper sulphate solution cannot be stored in a zinc pot.
