Question

State True or False.

$CuS{O}_4$(aq) cannot be stored in $Zn$ vessel.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

The given statement is True.
$CuS{O}_4$ (aq) cannot be stored in Zn vessel.
$E_{Cu|C{u}^{2+}}^o=-0.337$ V
$E_{Zn|Z{n}^{2+}}^o=0.763$ V
Since $E_{Zn|Z{n}^{2+}}^o>E_{Cu|C{u}^{2+}}^o$, Zn will displace Cu from its salt solution
$CuS{O}_4+Zn\to ZnS{O}_4+Cu$
