    Copper displaces which of the metal from their salt solutions [CPMT 1988]

    A) \[AgN{{O}_{3}}\]

    B) \[ZnS{{O}_{4}}\]

    C) \[FeS{{O}_{4}}\]

    D) All of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

      \[Cu+2AgN{{O}_{3}}\to 2Ag+Cu{{(N{{O}_{3}})}_{2}}\] \[Cu+ZnS{{O}_{4}}\to \]no reaction \[Cu+FeS{{O}_{4}}\to \]no reaction \[\left. \begin{matrix}    {{E}^{0}}Z{{n}^{+2}}/Zn=-0.76\,V  \\    {{E}^{0}}C{{u}^{2+}}/Cu=+0.34\,V  \\    {{E}^{0}}F{{e}^{2+}}/Fe=-0.40\,V  \\    {{E}^{0}}A{{g}^{+}}/Ag=+0.80\,V  \\ \end{matrix} \right\}\] As it is clear that reduction potential of copper is more than Zn and Fe. Hence it is unable to displace them from their salts.
