Ok brainlets.

You need to store a solution that contains copper Cu2+(aq) ions and have the choice to store it in a container made of copper or zinc. In which container would no reaction occur between the copper ions of the solution and the metal atoms of the container? Explain why you want to make sure that no reaction occurs.

Galvanic series ????

Growing up, you were likely told that the appendix is a vestigial organ. However, medfags have recently shown that it's coated in a chemically inert lining. Thus, the best container is actually your appendix. In recent years, it has been a trend among chemists to remove their appendix for the sole purpose of having a flexible, chemically inert container. Unfortunately, this is an expensive procedure for Americans, so you might have to inject the aqueous solution directly into your appendix. This has two functions: your chemical will be stored safely, and you will get appendicitis, thus giving you reason to have your appendix removed with financial assistance.

A spontaneous reaction will occur between Cu2+(aq) and Zn(s) so...

It will react with the zinc container so put it into the copper container

Read single displacement reactions.

Also this question is fucking stupid as shit since it's a waste to store this shit in anything other than a glass or even plastic bottle

i meant in the copper container you would more or lesser stay at equilibrium wrt the number of ions so its a safe bet

I don't think your grasping the context of which OP's question has come to fruition by - it's clearly a homework question at the end of a textbook chapter or similar. It would be unguided to think that OP intends to implement this question in a real-world situation, anon.
