Q. Assertion: Copper sulphate solution is not stored in zinc vessel.
Reason: Zinc forms complex with $CuSO_4$.

AIIMSAIIMS 2007The d-and f-Block Elements

Solution:

Electropositive elements like zinc precipitate copper from a solution of copper sulphate and finally forms a complex.

$CuSO_4 + Zn \rightarrow Cu + ZnSO_{4(aq)} \rightarrow [Zn(H_2O)_4]SO_4$
