Question:
Can you store copper sulphate solutions in a zinc pot?
Solution:
Zinc is more reactive than copper. Therefore, zinc can displace copper from its salt solution. If copper sulphate solution is stored in a zinc pot, then zinc will displace copper from the copper sulphate solution.
$\mathrm{Zn}+\mathrm{CuSO}_{4} \longrightarrow \mathrm{ZnSO}_{4}+\mathrm{Cu}$
Hence, copper sulphate solution cannot be stored in a zinc pot.
