Elemental zinc displaces the copper

Explanation:

In this reaction the zinc added to the copper sulfate solution has displaced the copper in the compound.

This is a single displacement reaction.

                      Zn + CuSO₄     →   ZnSO₄    +  Cu

This is the reaction of the recycling process.

The reaction is driving by the positions of the elements in the reactivity series of metal.

  • In a single displacement reaction, an atom higher up in the activity series displaces another that is lower.
  • Zinc is higher that copper in the activity series and it reacts with the sulfate.
  • It will then push the copper out as the solid product in the solution.
  • Elements higher up in the series are more reactive

We could reduce soil erosion and recycle phosphorus from farm and human waste so that we could help make food production sustainable and prevent algae blooms. We can also do land reclamation as well to help solve this problem. With the land, we would have to design a system to where the land could be functional again in order to plant crops, trees, also to help the wildlife that was once a part of the island. Therefore if the design is done before the mining then afterward we can do the reclamation of the land which would help the people to be able to function after the mining. It would also help the future generations that come along after the previous generations. Everyone must work together in the process in order for everyone to survive. If all this is done then the people of the island would not have to import their food. The reclamation process is the most important thing that has to be designed first whether it is land, soil, water, lakes, and clay then after plant trees, vegetation, and other forms of plants to help replenish the land after the mining is done.
