Solution
Zinc is more reactive than copper. Therefore, zinc can displace copper from its salt solution. If copper sulphate solution is stored in a zinc pot, then zinc will displace copper from the copper sulphate solution.
Zn + CuSO4 → ZnSO4 + Cu
Hence, the copper sulphate solution cannot be stored in a zinc pot.
