Solution

  1. When liquid Mercury is poured into a beaker containing aqueous solution of Copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate, no reaction will takes place.
  2. This is because liquid Mercury (Hg) is less reactive than Copper(Cu) so, it cannot displace Copper from its solution.
  3. : Hg(l)+CuSO4.5H2O(aq)Noreaction.(Mercury)(Copper(II)sulphatepentahydrate)

Therefore, when liquid Mercury is poured into a beaker containing aqueous solution of Copper (II) sulphate pentahydrate, no reaction will takes place.
