Question
A strip of metal X is dipped in a blue coloured salt solution YSO4. After some time, a layer of metal Y from the salt solution is formed on the surface of metal strip X. Metal X is used in galvanisation whereas metal Y is used in making electric wires. Metal X and metal Y together form an alloy Z.
(a) What could metal X be?
(b) What could metal Y be?
(c) Name the metal salt YSO4.
(d) What type of chemical reaction takes place when metal X reacts with salt solution YSO4? Write the equation of the chemical reaction involved.
(e) Name the alloy Z.
Solution
(a) Metal X is zinc.
(b) Metal Y is copper.
(c) Metal salt YSO4 is copper sulphate.
(d) Displacement reaction takes place. The chemical equation is given as follows:
Zn (s) + CuSO4 (aq) → ZnSO4 (s) + Cu (s)
(e) The alloy is brass.
