Correct Answer - No
E
c-
(Zn2+∣Zn)
=-0.76V,E
c-
(Cu2+∣Cu)
=0.34V
To CHMeck whether zinc reacts with CuSO4
solution, i.e.,
whether the following reaction takes place or not
Zn(s)+CuSO4(aq)→ZnSO4(aq)+Cu(s)
Find the EMF
of this cell reaction. The cell may be represented as :
Zn|Zn2+||Cu2+|Cu
E
c-
cell
=E
c-
(Cu2+∣Cu)
-E
c-
(Zn2+∣Zn)
=0.34V-(-0.76V)=1.10V
As E
c-
cell
is positive, the reaction takes place and we cannot stored.
