In a lab about the activity series, a solution of copper(ii)chloride is placed in a test tube with zinc metal. if zinc is higher up on the activity series, it will produce a reaction and replace the copper. bits of copper are seen in the bottom of the test tube. a good conclusion would be?

A simple displacement reaction is carried out.

Explanation:

Hello,

The statement suggest the following chemical reaction, that is carried out under the conditions it is describing:

Now, the bits of copper are formed due the cation displacement that is carried out when Cu(II) cations are exchanged by Zn(II) cations by cause of the chemical reaction, so the Cu stops acting as a cation and comes back to its metallic form.

Best regards.
