Which of the following reaction is possible

Heating Zinc Oxide with Magnesium or Copper


Open in App
Solution

Part 1:

  • When we heat Zinc Oxide with Magnesium it gives Magnesium Oxide and Zinc this happened because the activity/reactivity of Zinc is low as compared to Magnesium.

ZnO(s)+Mg(s)MgO(s)+Zn(s)ZincMagnesiumOxideOxide

  • Hence, the reaction is possible.

Part 2 :

  • Whereas when we heat Zinc Oxide with Copper, no reaction will take place because the activity/reactivity of Copper is low as compared to Zinc.

ZnO(s)+Cu(s)NoreactionZincOxide

  • Hence, the reaction is not possible.
