Write the net ionic equations for the reaction of CuSO4(aq) with 1. Zn(s) 2. Mg(s) 3. Fe(s) indicate the oxidizing agent and reducing agent in each of the three reactions
CuSO4 (aq) + Zn (s) -----> Cu(s) + ZnSO4 (aq)
oxidising agent : CuSO4
Reducing agent : Zn
Net ionic equation
Cu2+ (aq) + Zn (s) -----> Cu(s) + Zn2+ (aq)
CuSO4 (aq) + Mg (s) -----> Cu(s) + MgSO4 (aq)
oxidising agent : CuSO4
Reducing agent : Mg
Net ionic equation
Cu2+ (aq) + Mg (s) -----> Cu(s) + Mg2+ (aq)
CuSO4 (aq) + Fe (s) -----> Cu(s) + FeSO4 (aq)
oxidising agent : CuSO4
Reducing agent : Fe
Net ionic equation
Cu2+ (aq) + Fe (s) -----> Cu(s) + Fe2+ (aq)
( oxidising agent will reduce itself and reducing agent will oxidise by itself)
