Question

For an investigation a student poured a blue solution of CuSO4 into a beaker. The student placed a shiny silver colored strip of zinc metal in the solution and observed the changes, The student inferred that a chemical reaction occurred. What evidence supports this inference?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is the second answer; A dark solid formed on the zinc.

Explanation:

This is the correct answer because when a solid is formed it is called a precipitate, which is commonly known as a chemical reaction.

Answer 2

The evidence that supports the student's inference is a dark solid formed on the zinc.

Chemical reaction of zinc metal with CuSO4

When zinc is added to copper sulphate (CuSO4) solution, due to more reactivity of zinc, copper is replaced by zinc and forms zinc sulphate precipate.

Thus, the student is correct, there will be a chemical reatcion between the zinc and  copper sulphate (CuSO4) solution, producing a dark solid substance.
