When a copper rod is dipped into a solution of zinc sulphate, what happens?

AZinc oxide is formed
BCopper sulphate is formed
CNo reaction occurs
DWater is formed
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. No reaction occurs
1. A metal can displace another only if it is more reactive. 2. Copper is less reactive than zinc, so it cannot displace zinc from zinc sulphate. 3. Hence no reaction occurs. _Source: RRB Group D CEN-02/2018 PYQ, Q.75._
