I did an experiment in class to do with Metal Activity Series and in the discussion questions I need to write the net ionic and half equations for the chemical reactions.
Im not too sure If what i did is correct.

How would you write Zinc plus Copper Sulfate??

Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) ------> ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

where sulfate is the spectator ion





I hope I'm not wrong
:D
Looks like I got the same answer.
And the half equations would be

Zn -> Zn 2+ + 2e- oxidation
Cu2+ + 2e- -> Cu Reduction

(My teacher said that i didnt need to write the states in yet)
