If a beaker is contained with the substances nickel sulfate, zinc sulfate and solid iron, there is a substance that will be reduced in the following substances that is in it. The substance that will be reduced as it is in the beaker is the Ni^2 + or also known as the Nickel (II)

Answer:

Nickel (II) to solid nickel.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the placed species are nickel (II) sulfate [tex]NiSO_4[/tex], zinc sulfate [tex]ZnSO_4[/tex] and solid iron [tex]Fe[/tex]. Now, as the nickel sulfate is more reactive than the zinc sulfate, it will experience the following reduction half-reaction from nickel (II) to solid nickel:

[tex]Ni^{2+}+2e^--->Ni^0[/tex]

Nevertheless, it is possible that the zinc might experience the same reduction reaction from zinc (II) to solid zinc as well.

Best regards.
