The balanced equation would be [tex]Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}[/tex]

Electrochemical equations

Zn reacts with Cu solution according to the following equation:

[tex]Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}[/tex]

In the reaction, [tex]Cu^{2+}[/tex] is reduced according to the following: [tex]Cu^{2+} + 2 e^- -- > Cu[/tex]

While Zn is oxidized according to the following: [tex]Zn - 2e^- --- > Zn^{2+}[/tex]

Thus, giving the overall equation of; [tex]Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}[/tex]
