Answer:
Word Equation:
Zinc + Copper (II) nitrate → Copper + Zinc nitrate
Formula Equation:
Zn (s) + Cu(NO3)2 (aq) → Cu (s) + Zn(NO3)2 (aq)
Ionic Equation:
Zn (s) + Cu2+ (aq) → Zn2+ (aq) + Cu (s)
Description
A 1 gram granule of zinc metal was dropped into a test tube containing 10 cm
3
of clear blue copper nitrate solution (1 M). The zinc quickly began to react with the solution producing a clear green solution and a darker solid at the bottom of the test tube.
