medium
What would you observe when zinc is added to a solution of iron $(II) $ sulphate ? Write the chemical reaction that takes place.
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
Zinc is more reactive than iron. Therefore, if zinc is added to a solution of iron $II$ sulphate, then it would displace iron from the solution.
$\text{Z}{{\text{n}}_{(s)}}\,+\,FeS{{O}_{4(aq)}}\,\to \,ZnS{{O}_{4(aq)}}\,+\,F{{e}_{(s)}}$
