Thread: Redox Homework!

Ahh, I don't know how to solve these questions! I know, I'm so dumb.
a) Would it be feasible to store a solution of copper sulfate in a container made of metallic zinc? Explain.
b) Would it be feasible to store a solution of copper sulphate in a container made of metallic silver? Explain.
c) Would you expact jewlery made from an alloy of silver and copper to tarnish (oxidize) in a lab where fumes of bromine are present? Explain.

I suggest you look up the reactivity series of metals and how displacement reactions work. From there the answer should be fairly obvious.

first one, nah cause:
CuSO4 + Zn ----> ZnSO4 + Cu
Zinc more reactive then Copper
I think thats it :?

Second one yep cause:
no reaction as silver is less reactive then copper.

third one:
google it
