Using the scheme Cu + 2 + 2ē → Cu0, make up the equation of the chemical reaction

Using the scheme Cu + 2 + 2ē → Cu0, make up the equation of the chemical reaction and consider it from the point of view of ORP.

Let us compose the reaction equation using the rule of displacing less active metals from solutions of their salts by more active ones. Consider the interaction of a solution of copper sulfate with zinc:

CuSO4 + Zn = Cu + ZnSO4;

Cu + 2 + 2 e- → Cu0, copper is an oxidizing agent, the reduction process takes place;

Zn0 – 2 e- → Zn + 2, zinc is a reducing agent, the process is oxidation.
