Question

What happens when a Zinc plate is immersed in an aqueous CuSO4 solution? 

Answer

When a Zinc plate is immersed in an aqueous CuSO4 solution, Zinc metal reacts with CuSO4 to form Zinc sulfate (ZnSO4) and Copper metal (Cu) is deposited on the surface of the Zinc plate due to the displacement reaction. The chemical equation for the reaction is:

Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → Cu(s) + ZnSO4(aq)
