Colourless solution of the following four salts are placed separately in four different test tubes and a strip of copper is dipeed in each one of these. Which solution will turn blue?

A$$KNO_3$$
B$$AgNO_3$$
Correct Answer
C$$Zn(NO_3)_2$$
D$$ZnSO_4$$

Solution

Option (B) is correct.
$$AgNO_3$$ will turn the copper solution blue. Blue colour is due to formation of $$Cu^{2+}$$ ions. Silver comes above copper in the electrochemical series. $$Zn$$ and $$K$$ are placed below copper in electrochemical series. Thus copper can displace silver ions from its salt solution but K and Zn cannot displace silver ions from its salt solution.
