Q39 / 199 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Chemistry · Electrochemistry

Copper sulphate solution does not react with

  • A
    Zinc
  • B
    Iron
  • Correct answer
    C
    Silver
  • D
    All of these

Solution

CuSO4will react with elements placed above it in electrochemical series and it would not react with elements places below it in electrochemical series.

∴ CuSO4 reacts with Zn and Fe placed above it.

CuSO4 + Fe → FeSO4  + Cu

CuSO4 + Zn → ZnSO4 + Cu

∴ CuSO4 does not react with Ag, placed below it.

CuSO4 + Ag → no reaction.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
