When would Zn metal is put into an aqueous solution of CuSO4, solid Cu metal and a solution of ZnSO4 result. Write the net ionic equation for this reaction. ___+___—>___+___

Expert Solution

Step 1

A single replacement reaction, sometimes called a single displacement reaction, is a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound. The starting materials are always pure elements, such as a pure zinc metal or hydrogen gas, plus an aqueous compound.

Hence the given reaction is

$C u S O_{4} (a q) + Z n (s) = C u (s) + Z n S O_{4} (a q)$
