Can you Store Copper Sulphate Solutions in a Zinc Pot

Answer : Copper’s reactivity is lower than that of zinc. Zinc is going to take the place of the copper in the salt solution.

Copper is exchanged for zinc in a copper sulphate solution if it is kept in a zinc pot, which is what happens when the copper sulphate solution is stored.Zinc is a reducing agent that is more powerful than copper.

Zn + CuSO₄ → ZnSO₄ + Cu

Therefore, a zinc container is not suitable for storing copper sulphate solution.Estimating the proportional strengths of the reactants and products in a redox reaction can often be used to deduce the direction in which the reaction will proceed.
