Question

for the following single replacement reaction, choose the correct products. the copper in this reaction is cu²+ zn + cucl₂ →

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze single - replacement reaction

In a single - replacement reaction \(A + BC
ightarrow AC + B\), where \(A\) is more reactive than \(B\). Here, \(Zn\) is more reactive than \(Cu\) (from the activity series of metals).

Step2: Write the reaction equation

When \(Zn\) reacts with \(CuCl_{2}\), \(Zn\) replaces \(Cu\) in \(CuCl_{2}\). The reaction is \(Zn+CuCl_{2}
ightarrow ZnCl_{2}+Cu\)

Answer:

\(Cu + ZnCl_{2}\)
