Q. When zinc is placed in copper sulfate solution, which reaction occurs?

जब जिंक को कॉपर सल्फेट के घोल में रखा जाता है तो कौन सी प्रतिक्रिया होती है?

A
Zn + Cu²⁺ → Zn²⁺ + Cu
B
Zn²⁺ + Cu → Zn + Cu²⁺
C
Zn + Cu → Zn²⁺ + Cu²⁺
D
No reaction occurs
कोई प्रतिक्रिया नहीं होती

Explanation

Zinc is more reactive than copper and displaces Cu²⁺ from solution:

Zn (s)+Cu2+(aq)Zn2+(aq)+Cu (s)\text{Zn (s)} + \text{Cu}^{2+} (aq) → \text{Zn}^{2+} (aq) + \text{Cu (s)}

This is a redox reaction, and zinc undergoes oxidation.
