Why does zinc react with dilute sulphuric acid and copper doesn't ? |
|
Answer» It is because zinc lie above hydrogen in reactivity SERIES while copper lie below hydrogen in reactivity series. THEREFORE zinc DISPLACES hydrogen from sulphuric acid and produces zinc sulphate while copper being lying below hydrogen can't DISPLACE it from sulphuric acid and thus don't react with it. |
