zinc and cuso4 reaction An Investigation Into The Factors That Affect The Enthalpy Change During A Displacement Reaction. Background Knowledge The reactivity series is an order that places metals in that series depending how vigorously that metal reacts with water, air or acid. A more reactive metal could displace a less reactive metal from its' compound. Zinc (Zn) is a more reactive metal than Copper (Cu); it is higher in the reactivity than copper and thus when some zinc is placed in a solution of copper sulphate a displacement reaction takes place. The zinc goes into solution while the copper is "forced" out of solution. The situation can be described as follows: The full equation is: Zinc + Copper Sulphate = Copper + Zinc Sulphate Zn(s) + CuSo4 (aq) = Cu(s) + ZnSo4 (aq) The Ionic equation is: Zinc + Copper = Copper + Zinc Zn(s) + Cu 2+(aq) = Cu(s)...
