  • question_answer
    When iron or zinc is added to \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\] solution, copper is precipitated. It is due to            [CPMT 1974, 79]

    A)                 Oxidation of \[C{{u}^{+2}}\]       

    B)                 Reduction of \[C{{u}^{+2}}\]

    C)                 Hydrolysis of \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]   

    D)                 Ionization of \[CuS{{O}_{4}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                \[\overset{\,\,\,0}{\mathop{Zn}}\,+\overset{+2\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,}{\mathop{CuS{{O}_{4}}}}\,\to ZnS{{O}_{4}}+\overset{\,\,\,0}{\mathop{Cu}}\,\]                 In this reaction \[C{{u}^{2+}}\]change in \[C{{u}^{o}}\], hence it is called as reduction reaction.
