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

PLZ HELP ME WITH MY WORK
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Answer A is incorrect because a compound doesn't have to be made with only metals.

Answer B is incorrect because that is actually the definition of a pure element.

Answer C is correct because to make a compound, there has to be a chemical reaction where bonds are formed and an entirely new substance is created.

Answer D is incorrect because compounds cannot be separated by physical means.

Hope this helps :D
