Equation : ……………………………………………………………….. Observation : ………………………………………………………………… If the zinc metal is replaced with a magnesium metal , the voltage reading increases because magnesium is further from copper in the Electrochemical Series Negative zinc is more electropositive than copper Zn -> Zn 2+ + 2e Zinc electrode becomes thinner Positive copper is less electropositive than zinc (i)Brown solid deposited. (ii) The intensity of blue colour of copper(II) sulphate decreases. Cu 2+ + 2e -> Cu
18. Metal Displacement Reaction. The metal which is situated at a higher position ( higher tendency to release electron) in the electrochemical series is able to displace a metal below it from its salt solution . Copper Silver nitrate solution Grey solid Blue solution
