It is true some food products labeled as baby carrots are made by cutting down larger roots, and that these items can be treated with chlorine during processing. However, itâs not true thereâs anything wrong with the larger carrots theyâre made from, or that the resultant vegetables reach consumers in a chlorine-soaked state.
The silver is reduced to elemental silver and the copper is oxidized to copper(II): Cu(0) + 2AgNO 3 = Cu(NO 3) 2 + 2Ag(0). The silver crystallizes at the surface of the copper and the copper wire quickly becomes coated with a bunch of elemental silver.
Reaction of Zinc and Copper(II) Ion. Copper metal plates out on a strip of zinc metal when it is immersed in a solution of 0.1 M aqueous copper(II) sulfate solution. The blue color of the copper sulfate solution is due to the presence of the hexaaquacopper(II) ion. 2  The solution becomes lighter in color as copper ion in the solution is replaced by zinc ion.
