1. Zinc metal is a better reducing agent than copper. So when we add zinc metal to Copper sulfate solution, we get zinc sufate and elemental copper in solution.
Zinc gets oxidised to zinc sufate because it is a very strong reducing agent. It reduces Copper sulfate to solid copper by taking up the sulfate ion.
3. Catalyst is any substance that enhances the rate of a chemical reaction. It reduces the activation energy of the reaction consequently speeding it up. There are various mechanisms by which the catalysts functions. It operates as a mediator between the reactant molecules so that they collide more frequently which otherwise would have been less probable. Examples of catalysts would be Raney Nickel, Iron pellets, Carbon, potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide.

1. Write a balanced chemical equation for the oxidation of zinc metal (Zn) by copper(II) ions (Cu?") in a copper sulfate solution. Note that copper(II) sulfate completely dissociates in aqueous solution and forms Cu2+ (aq) and SO,- (aq) in water. Zinc metal is a solid and should be represented as Zn (3) Write a chemical equation for the decomposition of limestone (CaCO,) by heating to high temperature to drive off carbon dioxide.

In a copper-zinc voltaic cell, one half-cell consists of a ZnZn
electrode inserted in a solution of zinc sulfate and the other
half-cell consists of a CuCu electrode inserted in a copper sulfate
solution. These two half-cells are separated by a salt bridge.
At the zinc electrode (anode), ZnZn metal undergoes oxidation by
losing two electrons and enters the solution as Zn2+Zn2+ ions. The
oxidation half-cell reaction that takes place at the anode is
Zn(s)→Zn2+(aq)+2e−Zn(s)→Zn2+(aq)+2e−
The CuCu ions undergo reduction...

It is expected that a chemical reaction will occur when copper metal is combined with aqueous zinc sulfate. Explain why there will be no reaction when zinc metal and aqueous copper sulfate solution are combined. Identify the anode and the cathode, assuming a voltaic cell is constructed.
