Question
Write the chemical reaction that takes place.
✓
Answer
Zinc $(Zn)$ is more reactive than iron $(Fe).$
Hence, when it is added to iron $(II)$ sulphate, it displaces the iron metal.
As a result, the colour of the solution fades from green to colourless due to formation of zinc sulphate, and the grayish black coloured iron metal gets displaced.
