A piece of granulated zinc was dropped into copper sulphate solution. After some time, the colour of the solution changed from :
(1)light green to blue(2)blue to colourless
(3) light green to colourless(4)bule to yellow


Correct answer:  (2) blue to colourless 

Explanation: Zinc is more reactive than copper, hence it displaces copper from its sulphate solution to form zinc sulphate, as a result, the blue colour solution turns colourless.

The chemical equation for the reaction is given below:

$Zn (s) + CuSO_4 (aq) → ZnSO_4 (aq) + Cu (s)$
